Proposals are approved by the Programme Approval Board  (PAB)  after  discussion  with  States/UTs.  The  Scheme  aims  to  promote availability of safe and conveniently located accommodations for working women, with day care facility  for  their  children  in  urban,  semi  urban,  or  even  rural  areas  where employment opportunity for women exist.
