## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)

- (a)    The Government of India had set up a dedicated fund called 'Nirbhaya Fund' for implementation of initiatives aimed at enhancing the safety and security for women in the  country.  An  Empowered  Committee  (EC)  of  officers  constituted  under  Nirbhaya Framework appraises and recommends the proposals for funding under Nirbhaya Fund in  conjunction  with  the  concerned  Ministries/  Departments/  Implementing  Agencies. After  appraisal  by  the  EC,  the  concerned  Ministries/  Departments  obtain  approval  of their respective competent financial authorities to release funds out of their respective budgets  and  implement  the  approved  projects/  schemes  directly  or  through  States/ UTs/ Implementing Agencies.

Under  the  Nirbhaya  Fund,  one  of  the  schemes  namely  'One  Stop  Centre  (OSC) Scheme' is implemented across the country since 1st April 2015. OSCs aim to facilitate women affected by violence with a range of integrated services under one roof such as Police  facilitation,  medical  aid,  providing  legal  and  psycho-social  counselling  and temporary  shelter.  OSCs  are  to  be  set  up  within  2  kms  radius  of  the  hospitals  or medical facilities  either  in  new  constructed  building  in  an  approved  design  or  in  preexisting buildings. Under the scheme, One Stop Centres are being set up in all districts of the country. So far, 704 OSCs have been operationalised and more than three lakh women have been assisted through them.

- (b) & (c)  The details of funds released and utilised under the OSC scheme during the last three years, State/UT-wise including Karnataka, Rajasthan and Assam are placed at Annexure-I.
- (d)        The  details  of  number  of  centres  set  up  under  the  scheme,  State/UT-wise including Rajasthan and Assam are placed at Annexure-II.
- (e)       The  Ministry  of  Women and  Child  Development  has  decided  to  implement  the umbrella  scheme  for  safety,  security  and  empowerment  of  women  as  an  integrated women  empowerment  programme  under  the  name  ' Mission  Shakti ',  including  the component  of  One  Stop  Centres.   For  providing  speedy  assistance  and  services  to distressed and violence affected women at OSCs, the Ministry has decided to set up more  OSCs  in  areas  which  are  distant  from  district  headquarters  or  are  having  high rates  of  crime  against  women,  to  enhance  the  costing  provisions  for  OSCs,  and  to further enhance the synergy and coordination of OSCs with the other initiatives of the government, including those under Nirbhaya Fund and under Mission Shakti.
