children rest with the respective State Governments. The State Governments are competent to deal with such offences under the extant provisions of laws. However, Ministry of Home Affairs has taken a number of initiatives for safety of women and children across the country, which are given below:

i.  The  Criminal  Law  (Amendment),  Act  2013  was  enacted  for  effective deterrence against sexual offences. Further, the Criminal Law (Amendment)  Act,  2018  was  enacted  to  prescribe  even  more  stringent penal provisions including death penalty for rape of girls below the age of 12 years. The Act also inter-alia mandates completion of investigation and filing of chargesheet in rape cases in 2 months and trials to be completed in 2 months.

ii.  Emergency  Response  Support  System  provides  a  pan-India,  single internationally recognized number (112) based system for all emergencies, with computer aided dispatch of field resources to the location of distress.

iii.  Using  technology  to  aid  smart  policing  and  safety  management, Safe City Projects have been sanctioned in first Phase in 8 cities (Ahmedabad, Bengaluru,    Chennai,    Delhi,    Hyderabad,    Kolkata,    Lucknow    and Mumbai).

iv.    Ministry  of  Home  Affairs  has  provided  financial assistance  under the 'Cyber Crime Prevention against Women and Children (CCPWC) Scheme, to the  States/UTs  for  their  capacity  building  such  as  setting  up  of  cyber forensic-cum-training  laboratories,  hiring  of  junior  cyber  consultants  and training of LEAs' personnel, public prosecutors and judicial officers.

v. MHA has launched the 'National Database on Sexual Offenders' (NDSO) on 20th September 2018 to facilitate investigation and tracking of sexual offenders across the country by law enforcement agencies.

vii. In order to improve investigation, MHA has taken steps to strengthen DNA  analysis  units in Central  and State  Forensic  Science  Laboratories. This  includes  setting  up  of  State-of-the-Art  DNA  Analysis  Unit  in  Central Forensic Science  Laboratory,  Chandigarh.  MHA  has  also  sanctioned setting-up and upgrading of DNA Analysis units in State Forensic Science Laboratories            after            gap            analysis              and              demand assessment.

viii.  MHA  has  notified  guidelines  for  collection  of  forensic  evidence  in sexual  assault  cases  and  the  standard  composition  in  a  sexual  assault evidence  collection  kit.  To  facilitate  adequate  capacity  in  manpower, training and skill building programs have been undertaken for Investigation Officers,  Prosecution  Officers  and  Medical  Officers.  Bureau  of  Police Research & Development has distributed 18,020 Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kits to States/ UTs as orientation kit as part of training.

ix. MHA has also approved two projects for setting up and strengthening of Women Help Desks in Police Stations and Anti-Human Trafficking Units in all districts of the country.

x.    In  addition  to  the  above-mentioned  measures,  the  Ministry  of  Home Affairs  have  issued  advisories from time  to time  with a view to help the States/UTs  to  deal  with  crimes  against  women  and  children,  which  are available at www.mha.gov.in

Further,  the,  Ministry  of  Women  and  Child  Development  has  issued the 'Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for cases of missing children' to assist  Police,  Child  Welfare  Committees  and  Juvenile  Justice  Board  in dealing  with  the  cases  of  missing  and  found  or  recovered  children.  The objective of the SOP is to put in place guidelines while dealing with cases of  missing  children  and  to  work  in  coordination  with  the  concerned stakeholders   and   respond   with   urgency   to   issues  of  missing  child.

For  providing  outreach  services  to  missing  children  and  needy children,  the  Ministry  of  Women  and  Child  Development  operates  Child Helpline  No.  1098,  which  is  operational  24/7.  Apart  from  this,  Railway Childlines  at  major  railway  platforms  are  also  being  operated  to  provide assistance to any needy child.

Ministry  of  Women  and  Child  Development  has  also  initiated  the 'Track  Child  Portal',  which  enables  tracking  of  the  missing  and  found children.  Under  this,  logins  have  been  provided  to  the  Police  Stations, Juvenile  Justice  Boards  and  Child  Care  Institutions  whereby  they  are required to update the information, on the portal, about missing and found children regularly. One Component of  Track  Child  Portal  is 'Khoya-Paya', where any citizen can report missing children as well as sightings of their whereabouts without losing much time.

Ministry  of  Women  &  Child  Development  is  implementing  One  Stop Centre (OSC) Scheme across the country. The objectives of the One Stop Centre  Scheme  are  to  provide  integrated    support    and    assistance    to women affected by violence, both in private and public spaces under one roof and facilitate immediate, emergency and non-emergency access to a range  of  services  including  police,  medical,  legal  aid  and  counselling,

psychological support to fight against any forms of violence against women.
