## ANSWER

MINISTER OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI ANNPURNA DEVI)

(a) The objectives of setting of One Stop Centres (OSCs) are to provide integrated support and assistance under one roof to women affected by violence and in distress both  in  private  and  public  spaces  and  facilitate  immediate  emergency  and  nonemergency access to a range of services including medical, legal, temporary shelter, police assistance, psychological and counselling support to fight against any forms of violence against them.

(b) The budgetary norms for construction of One Stop Centre are 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 States/UTs concerned. A variable cost @5% of the construction cost to meet any variation in the construction cost is also provided.

(c) As on date, 785 OSCs are operational across the States/UTs. The number of OSCs operational, as on date, in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Odisha indicating the number of women benefitted therefrom is as under:-

|   S. No. | State       |   Number of Operational OSCs | Total number of women Assisted During 1.4.2015 to 31 st May 2024   |
|----------|-------------|------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
|        1 | Maharashtra |                           42 | 30,589                                                             |
|        2 | Gujarat     |                           35 | 35,500                                                             |
|        3 | Odisha      |                           30 | 21,891                                                             |

(d)      As the scheme is demand driven by the States and UTs, they are encouraged to  set-up  One  Stop  Centre  in  those  districts  having  higher  rate  of  crime  against women or those having bigger geographical area, preferably in aspirational districts. Further, as and when a proposal for setting up OSC is received from the States/UTs, the same is considered by Programme Approval Board (PAB) of the Ministry.

(e)        No  social  audit  has  been  conducted  for  OSCs.   However,  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.
