## ANSWER

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

(a)  &  (b)  For  better  implementation  and  efficient  monitoring,  all  Centrally  Sponsored Schemes of the Ministry being implemented in the country, including West Bengal, have been  clubbed  into  three  verticals,  viz.  (1)  Saksham  Anganwadi  &  Poshan  2.0 for improving nutrition indicators in the country (2) Mission Shakti, for safety, protection and empowerment of women; and (3) Mission Vatsalya, for protection and welfare of children. The details of these schemes are as under:

- (i) Saksham Anganwadi & Poshan 2.0: This programme has been reorganized into 3 primary verticals: (i) Nutrition Support for POSHAN and for Adolescent Girls (ii) Early Childhood Care and Education [3-6 years] and (iii) Anganwadi Infrastructure including modern, upgraded Saksham Anganwadis.

(ii)  Mission  Shakti: Mission  Shakti  comprises  of  two  sub-schemes 'Sambal' and 'Samarthya' for safety and security of women and empowerment of women respectively. The existing schemes of One Stop Centres (OSC), Women Helplines (181-WHL) and

Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) have been made part of Sambal sub- scheme; while the  existing  schemes  of  Pradhan  Mantri  Matru  Vandana  Yojana  (PMMVY),  Ujjwala, Swadhar Greh and Working Women Hostel and National Creche Scheme have been subsumed in 'Samarthya'.

(iii) Mission Vatsalya: Under Mission Vatsalya, the Child Protection Scheme(CPS) has been strengthened for better outreach and protection for children in need and care in a mission  mode  with  the  objective  to: (i)Support and  sustain  Children  in difficult circumstances. (ii) Develop context-based solutions for holistic development of children from  varied  backgrounds.  (iii)  Provide  scope  for  green  field  projects  for  encouraging innovative solutions. (iv) Cement convergent action by gap funding, if required.

Only under 3 schemes of Mission Shakti, funds were being directly released to districts of all the States/UTs viz. One Stop Centre (OSC), Universalization of Women Helplines (WHL) and Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) till FY 2022-23. However, BBBP & WHL are not  being  implemented  by  State  Government  of West  Bengal.  District-wise  details  of funds allocated/ released and utilized under the OSC scheme during the last four years is annexed at Annexure-I . In the rest of the schemes, the funds are being released to States/UTs. Details of funds allocated/ released and utilized under the schemes during the last four years and the current year is annexed at Annexure-II.

(c) The physical targets  and  achievements  in West Bengal under schemes of the Ministry are annexed at Annexure-III .

(d), (e) & (f) PMMVY is being implemented in the State of West Bengal since 2017- 18. However, it had come to the notice that the Scheme was being implemented in the State with a different nomenclature i.e. 'Bangla Matri Prakalpa'. The State government later on agreed and ensured that in future the scheme would be implemented strictly as per the guidelines of PMMVY. On receipt of the written assurance from the State, the release of Central share of funds to the State Government of West Bengal has been resumed from March, 2022.

Under all the schemes of the Ministry, Utilisation Certificate/Statement of Expenditure are not being received from the State. Regular follow up meetings have been conducted with the State at all levels to report the utilisation of funds.

All the schemes of the Ministry were evaluated by NITI Aayog and their suggestions were incorporated while reorganising the schemes of the Ministry into 3 Missions.
