## ANSWER

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

(a)  to  (c): One  Stop  Centre  (OSC) is  a  component  of the Sambal vertical  under the umbrella Mission Shakti. It provides integrated 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, 864 OSCs are operational across the county including 96 OSCs in Uttar Pradesh. Since inception i.e. 1st April, 2015 up to 30th September, 2025, over 12.67 lakh women have been assisted in the country. The State and UT-wise details of number of OSCs functional and women assisted in the country is at Annexure.

The implementation of scheme lies with the State Governments and UT Administrations. Further, once  in  a  year,  the  Programme  Approval  Board  monitors  with  States/UTs,  the  progress  of activities under the scheme and reviews status of achievement of objectives.

The  Ministry  of  Women  and  Child  Development,  along  with  State  Governments  and  UT Administrations, is continuously working to strengthen the growing demand, visibility, and timely support to women in One Stop Centres (OSCs) to ensure quality support.  Templates for signage, standees,  information  boards,  and  vehicle  branding  have  been  developed  and  shared  with States/UTs to be displayed at prominent public locations, health institutions, police stations, and community events to enhance visibility and awareness about the availability of OSC services.
