The Government of India has launched “Mission Shakti”- integrated women empowerment programme, as umbrella scheme for safety, security and empowerment of women for implementation during the 15th Finance Commission period 2021-22 to 2025-26. The “Mission Shakti” consists of two sub-schemes – ‘Sambal’ and ‘ Samarthya’. The One Stop Centre (OSC) is a component of ‘Sambal’ sub-scheme under umbrella scheme of “Mission Shakti. The One Stop Centre has been designated as the mainstay of the Sambal sub-scheme at District level.
The scheme of OSC is implemented with effect from 1st April 2015 to provide integrated support and assistance to women affected by violence and in distress, both in private and public spaces under one roof and provide an integrated range of services including medical aid, legal aid and advice, temporary shelter, police assistance, psycho-social counselling to needy women.
The setting up of OSCs from the year 2015 onward, at district level, has provided a dedicated platform to women affected by violence and who are in distress to get necessary help and assistance, which was not available earlier.
Presently, 758 OSCs have been approved for 734 districts across the county, out of which 708 OSCs have been operationalized in 35 States/ UTs, which have assisted over 5.40 lakh women till March 2022.. The State/UT-wise details of approved and functional OSCs along with the number of women benefitted since inception of the scheme are at Annexure.
Based on encouraging results of this initiative and benefits to women, the Government has decided to open 300 more OSCs under Mission Shakti, in the districts having higher rate of crime against women or having bigger geographical area, preferably in aspirational districts.
This information was given by the Union Minister of Women and Child Development, Smt. Smriti Zubin Irani, in a written reply in Lok Sabha today.
