The State Governments are competent to deal with such offences under the extant provisions of laws. However, Ministry of Home Affairs has taken a number of initiatives for safety of women and children across the country, which are given below:

i.  The  Criminal  Law  (Amendment),  Act  2013  was  enacted  for  effective deterrence against sexual offences. Further, the Criminal Law (Amendment)  Act,  2018  was  enacted  to  prescribe  even  more  stringent penal provisions including death penalty for rape of girls below the age of 12 years. The Act also inter-alia mandates completion of investigation and

filing of chargesheet in rape cases in 2 months and trials to be completed in 2 months.

Ministry  of  Home  Affairs  has  provided  financial assistance  under the 'Cyber Crime Prevention against Women and Children (CCPWC) Scheme, to the  States/UTs  for  their  capacity  building  such  as  setting  up  of  cyber forensic-cum-training  laboratories,  hiring  of  junior  cyber  consultants  and training of LEAs' personnel, public prosecutors and judicial officers.

This  includes  setting  up  of  State-of-the-Art  DNA  Analysis  Unit  in  Central Forensic Science  Laboratory,  Chandigarh.  MHA  has  also  sanctioned setting-up and upgrading of DNA Analysis units in State Forensic Science Laboratories after gap analysis and demand assessment.

viii.  MHA  has  notified  guidelines  for  collection  of  forensic  evidence  in sexual  assault  cases  and  the  standard  composition  in  a  sexual  assault evidence  collection  kit.  To  facilitate  adequate  capacity  in  manpower, training and skill building programs have been undertaken for Investigation Officers,  Prosecution  Officers  and  Medical  Officers.  Bureau  of  Police Research & Development has distributed 18,020 Sexual Assault Evidence Collection   Kits   to   States/ UTs   as   orientation  kit  as  part  of training.

Further,  the,  Ministry  of  Women  and  Child  Development  has  issued the 'Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for cases of missing children' to assist  Police,  Child  Welfare  Committees  and  Juvenile  Justice  Board  in dealing  with  the  cases  of  missing  and  found  or  recovered  children.  The objective of the SOP is to put in place guidelines while dealing with cases of  missing  children  and  to  work  in  coordination  with  the  concerned stakeholders and respond with urgency to issues of missing child.

For  providing  outreach  services  to  missing  children  and  needy children,  the  Ministry  of  Women  and  Child  Development  operates  Child Helpline  No.  1098,  which  is  operational 24/7.  Apart  from  this,  Railway

Childlines  at  major  railway  platforms  are  also  being  operated  to  provide assistance to any needy child.

Under  this,  logins  have  been  provided  to  the  Police  Stations, Juvenile  Justice  Boards  and  Child  Care  Institutions  whereby  they  are required to update the information, on the portal, about missing and found children  regularly.  One  Component of Track Child Portal  is  'Khoya-Paya', where any citizen can report missing children as well as sightings of their whereabouts without losing much time.

Ministry  of  Women  &  Child  Development  is  implementing  One  Stop Centre (OSC) Scheme across the country. The objectives of the One Stop Centre Scheme are to provide integrated support and assistance to women affected by violence, both in private and public spaces under one roof and facilitate immediate, emergency and non-emergency access to a range of services including police, medical, legal aid and counselling, psychological support to fight against any forms of violence against women.
