## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 139* FOR ANSWER ON 10.02.2023 ASKED BY SHRI RAJIV PRATAP RUDY REGARDING 'ONE STOP CENTRES'

(a)  &  (b): Yes  Sir,  the  Government  has  been  implementing  scheme  of  One  Stop Centre  (OSC)  w.e.f.  01.04.2015  to  provide  integrated  support  and  assistance  to women affected by violence and in distress, both in private and public spaces under one roof and facilitate an integrated range of services including medical aid, legal aid and advice, temporary shelter (for a maximum period of 5 days), police assistance and psycho  -social  counseling  to  needy  women.  Now  the  OSC  scheme  has  been included as a component of sub-scheme 'Sambal' under Mission Shakti. Presently, 733 OSC's are operational in 36 States/ UTs. In Bihar, one OSC is functional in each district including Saran. The State/ UT-wise and district - wise details of functional OSCs is at Annexure-I.

(c): In order to equip the OSC's to provide the integrated services to the women, the scheme guidelines provide for hiring of personnels including case workers, paralegal personnel/lawyer, paramedical personnel, psychosocial counsellors etc by the state government/UT's. The  guidelines  of  Mission  Shakti,  however,  do  not  envisage creation of regular posts for One Stop Centres. Government of India  provides financial assistance to states / UTs  for hiring of manpower for functioning of the components of Mission Shakti including OSCs.

As per the scheme guidelines, District/ State authorities are mandated for monitoring, coordinating and mid-course correction for effective implementation of the scheme. The Ministry at various levels also reviews the scheme, from time to time, to ensure effective  functioning of these centres by issuing advisories to States Governments/ UT  Administrations  and  conducting  meetings,  video  conferencing  etc  with  all concerned functionaries. Further, an online platform namely Sakhi Dashboard is also available for monitoring of its implementation.

(d): Based  on  encouraging  results  of  this  initiative  and  benefits  to  women,  the Government has decided to open 300 more OSCs, in a phased manner, in the districts having  higher  rate  of  crime  against  women  or  having  bigger  geographical  area, preferably  in  aspirational  districts.  Accordingly    provision  for  Rs.562.00  crore  has been made for the sub-scheme 'Sambal' under Mission Shakti for the current Financial Year 2022-23.

(e): The State /UT - wise number of women assisted / benefitted by the OSCs,  is at Annexure-II.

(f): As  per  the  scheme  guidelines,  District/  State  authorities  are  mandated  for monitoring, coordinating and mid-course correction for effective implementation of the scheme. Further, an online platform namely Sakhi Dashboard is also available for monitoring  of  its  implementation.  The  OSC  functionaries  also  follow  up  with  the survivors / women  through various channels after they have availed the services.
