## ANSWER

## 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 811 One Stop Centres have been approved in all 36 States/UTs, out of which 752 OSCs are operational. Through these OSCs, more than 8.01 lakhs women have been provided assistance.   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 and number of women assisted through these OSCs from 01.04.2015 to 30.09.2023 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.
