Ministry of Women and Child Development
was implementing two schemes for the development of Adolescent Girls viz. Kishorishakti Yojana and
Nutrition Programme for Adolescent Girls (AGs). These
schemes had limited financial assistance and coverage. A need has therefore,
emerged to formulate a new comprehensive scheme with richer content, merging
the erstwhile two schemes that would address the multi-dimensional problems of
Adolescent Girls and the scheme namely Rajiv Gandhi
Scheme for Empowerment of Adolescent Girls, Sabla, a
comprehensive scheme primarily for out of school adolescent girls (11-18 years)
was introduced on pilot basis in the year 2010.
Sabla aims at all-round development of
adolescent girls of 11-18 years (with a focus on all out-of-school Adolescent
Girls) by making them ‘self reliant’ by improving their health and nutrition
status, promoting awareness about health, hygiene, nutrition, Adolescent
Reproductive and Sexual Health, family and child care and facilitating access
to public services through various interventions such as guidance and counselling and imparting Vocational Training. It also aims
towards mainstreaming out of school Adolescent Girls
into formal/non formal education. The scheme is being implemented in 205
districts from all states UTs in the country. Nearly
100 lakh adolescent girls per annum are expected to
be benefitted under the scheme. State-wise funds
released, utilized and beneficiaries covered under this scheme during 2010-11
and 2011-12 is as below:
