## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI SAVITRI THAKUR)

(a) to (e): For better implementation and efficient monitoring, various schemes implemented by the Ministry of Women & Child Development (MoWCD) all over the country, including in Kerala, have been clubbed into three Umbrella Missions, viz. (1) Mission Saksham Anganwadi &  Poshan  2.0  for  improving  nutrition  &  health  indicators  (2)  Mission  Shakti,  for  safety, protection and empowerment of women; and (3) Mission Vatsalya, for protection, care and welfare of children in difficult circumstances. All the centrally sponsored schemes under the aforesaid  Missions  of  the  Ministry  are  being  implemented  in  Kerala.  The  details  of  funds released to State Government of Kerala under the various schemes under three missions of the Ministry during the last five years and the current financial year are at Annexure . There is no proposal to increase the central share in the centrally sponsored schemes implemented by the Ministry of Women and Child Development.

The State Governments already access loans from multilateral and bilateral lending agencies through  well-established  processes.  These  borrowings  support  a  range  of  development activities identified by the States, which are implemented under their own control, supervision, and administrative arrangements.
