State Commissions for Women (SCW) are set up by the respective State Governments / Union Territories (UT) and are not subordinate to NCW. They do not function under administrative control of either Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD) or NCW. Funds are allocated to the SCWs by the respective States/ UTs.
The expenditure incurred by NCW vis-a-vis budget allocation shows that funds allocation to the Commission is adequate to meet their requirements.
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.
