## ANSWER MINISTER OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT

## (SHRIMATI MANEKA SANJAY GANDHI)

- (a): The number of Observation Homes and Special Homes functioning for children in conflict  with  law  and  being  supported  under  the  Integrated  Child  Protection  Scheme (ICPS) along with the number of children therein, State/UT-wise is at Annexure-I .
- (b):  The  Ministry  of  Women  and  Child  Development  is  implementing  a  Centrally Sponsored Scheme, namely, Integrated Child Protection Scheme (ICPS) under which financial assistance is provided to State Governments/UT Administrations for setting up and maintenance of various types of Homes, including Special Homes and Observation

Homes for rehabilitation of children in conflict with law. These Homes provide education and vocational training to inmates of such Homes so that they can ultimately reintegrate into  the  mainstream  society.  The  details  of  funds  released  and  utilized  by  the  State Governments/UT Administrations  under  ICPS  including  funds  for  Special  Homes  and Observation  Homes  during  each  of  the  last  three  years  and  the  current  year  is  at Annexure-II .

(c) & (d):  The setting up of Homes including Special Homes and Observation Homes is decided by the inter-ministerial Project Approval Board (PAB) constituted under ICPS to consider and approve the financial proposals received from the State Governments/UT Administrations, on the basis of need assessment carried out and requirement projected in the respective proposals. The PAB also deliberates on issues related to infrastructure and basic facilities during their interaction with States/UTs. The details of funds provided by  the  Government  to  the  State  Governments/UT  Administrations  for  construction  of Observation Homes and Special Homes during the last three years under ICPS is at Annexure-III .  So  far  no  grant  has  been  released  for  construction  of  Observation  and Special Home during current financial year 2016-17.

(e): Under the provisions of Section 49 (1) of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 the State Government  shall set up at least one place of safety so as to place a person above the age of 18 years who is apprehended for committing an offence when he was below the age of 18 years or a child in conflict with law, who is between  the  age  of  16  to  18  years  and  is  accused  of  or  convicted  for  committing  a heinous offence.
