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

(a) to (c):  The Government gives utmost priority to the safety, security, health, education, nutrition,  rehabilitation  and  empowerment  of  women  and  children  and  has  adopted  multipronged approach to address their educational, social and economic empowerment across the country.

Mission  Shakti  aims  at strengthening interventions for women  safety,  security  and empowerment. Mission Shakti comprises of two verticals 'sambal' for safety  and security of women and 'Samarthya' for empowerment of women across the country including the state of Karnataka.

One Stop Centre (OSC) is a component of the Sambal vertical under the umbrella Mission Shakti. It provides integrated and immediate support and assistance under one roof to women affected  by  violence  and  those  in  distress,  both  in  private  and  public  spaces.  It  provides services like  medical  aid,  legal  aid  and  advice,  temporary  shelter,  police  assistance  and psycho-social counselling to needy women. As on date, 926 One Stop Centres have been made operational across the country and since inception, i.e. 1st April, 2015 to 31 st  December, 2025, over 13.37 lakh women have been assisted in the country. As on date, 42 OSCs are operational  in  the  State  of  Karnataka  and  over  38  thousand  women  have  been  assisted thorough these OSCs in the State. The details of State and UT-wise operational One Stop Centres (OSCs) across the country are at Annexure-I and the district-wise operational OSCs in the State of Karnataka are at Annexure-II.

Women  Helpline  (181)  provides  24-hour  toll-free  telecommunication  services  to  support women in both emergency and non-emergency situations. Since inception till 28th February, 2026, over 99.09 lakh women have been assisted in the country, out of which over 96 thousand women  have  been  assisted  in  the  State  of  Karnataka  through  Women  Helpline.  State Government of West Bengal is not implementing Women Helpline.

(d)  Mission Shakti is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme and funds are being released on the basis of guidelines of Department of Expenditure, prescribed for Single Nodal agency (SNA) or SNA SPARSH of the Public Financial Management System (PFMS).
