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

(a) to (d): The Government has been implementing the scheme of One Stop Centre (OSC) since 1 st  April, 2015 to provide a range of integrated services under one roof to women affected by violence and in distress. These services include Police facilitation, medical aid, providing legal aid and legal counselling, psycho-social counselling and temporary shelter. So far, a total of 816 One Stop Centres have been approved in all 36 States/UTs, out of which 757 OSCs are operational. The budgetary norms for construction of One Stop Centre is based on CPWD 2020 rates to the tune of Rs.60.00lakh (Tentative) for Delhi and National Capital Region. The rates for  other  regions/locations  is  as  per the  Schedule of  Rates (SOR) of the Concerned States/UTs.  A  variable  cost  @5%  of  the  construction  cost  to  meet  any  variation  in  the construction  cost  is  also  provided.  The  State/UT  wise  approved  and  functional  OSCs  are annexed at Annexure.

A third party evaluation of the schemes of the Ministry, including One Stop Centre (OSC) Scheme, was conducted during the Financial Year 2020-21 through NITI Aayog. The study found the relevance, effectiveness and sustainability of the scheme as satisfactory. Based on the recommendations of the Third Party Evaluation, the OSC scheme has been included as a component of sub-scheme 'Sambal' under Mission Shakti for implementation during period of 15 th   Finance  Commission  Cycle  upto  2025-26.  Based  on  the  encouraging  results  of  this initiative and benefits to women, 300 more OSCs are envisaged to be set up during the period of  15 th   Finance  Commission in the districts  having  higher rate  of  crime against  women  or having bigger geographical area, preferably in aspirational districts.
