(b):     As per the Mission Shakti guidelines, the Central Government provides100% financial  assistance  to  States/  UTs  for  appointment/hiring  13  manpower  resources including 3 security guards. The overall implementation of the OSC scheme lies with the  State  Governments/UT  Administrations.  They  are  competent  to  manage  such services with the help from respective State police/hospital authorities.

(c): No such application has been received.

(d): The details of the funds sanctioned and percentage utilised by OSCs during the last five years are at annexure-II. As the scheme is demand driven, the States and UTs  are  encouraged  to  set-up  at  least  one  OSC  in  each  district  and  additional OSC(s)in those districts which have higher rate of crime against women or have bigger geographical area and in aspirational districts.

(e): Yes.

(f): The States/UTs are responsible for the implementation of the scheme. They undertake  public  awareness  activities  from  time  to  time  keeping  in  view  the requirement of the concerned State/UT.  Further, the Ministry has taken action for capacity building for the functionaries of One Stop Centres. This involves engaging expert resource persons from National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), National Institute of Public Cooperation  and  Child  Development  (NIPCCD),  National  Legal  Services  Authority (NALSA), and National Informatics Centre (NIC) for facilitating technical sessions on psycho-social counselling, gender-based violence case management, gender sensitization and  dashboard  operations. This includes three regional training programs in Guwahati, Indore, and Bangalore, and two National Workshops in New Delhi between January 2024 to July 2024.
