of Children
Lok Sabha
The Ministry of Women and Child Development has formulated a new scheme namely the ‘Integrated Child Protection Scheme’ aimed to provide a secure environment for the children. Under the scheme, provision has been made for setting up of Child Tracking System by the Central Project Support Unit (CPSU). Setting up of State Child Protection Society (SCPS) at the State level, and District Child Protection Society (DCPS) at district level, to manage child-tracking system amongst other tasks allocated to them, has also been planned under the scheme. However, this scheme is yet to be approved by the competent authority.
This was stated by the Minister of State for Women and Child Development, Smt. Renuka Chowdhury in a reply to a question in Lok Sabha today.
