  • Aim: To generate awareness and improve efficiency of delivery of welfare services meant for women
  • Launched on 22 January 2015 with an initial corpus of Rs. 100 crore
  • Joint initiative of Ministries of Women & Child Development, Health & Human Resource Development

Districts Identified

The three criteria for selection of districts:

  1. Districts below the national average (87 districts/23 states);
  2. Districts above national average but shown declining trend (8 districts/8 states)
  3. Districts above national average and shown increasing trend (5 districts/5 states- selected so that these CSR levels can be maintained and other districts can emulate and learn from their experiences)
  • First Phase:

100 districts have been identified on the basis of low Child Sex Ratio as per Census 2011 covering all States/UTs as a pilot With at least one district in each state

  • Second Phase

The scheme has further been expanded to 61 additional districts selected from 11 States/UT having CSR below 918


 

Strategies:

  • Implement a sustained Social Mobilization and Communication Campaign to create equal value for the girl child & promote her education
  • Focus on Gender Critical Districts and Cities low on CSR for intensive & integrated action
  • Mobilize & Train Panchayati Raj Institutions/ Urban local bodies/ Grassroot workers as catalysts for social change
  • Ensure service delivery structures/ schemes & programmes are sufficiently responsive to issues Of gender and children’s rights
  • Enable Inter-sectoral and inter-institutional convergence at District/ Block/ Grassroot levels

Implementation:

  1. Centre: A National Task Force (NTF) headed by Secretary WCD
    State: A State Task Force (STF)
  2. District: District Task Force (DTF) headed by the District Collector/ Deputy Commissioner with representation of concerned departments
  3. Block: A Block Level Committee headed by SDM/ SDO/ BDO
  4. Gram Panchayat/ Municipality: Respective Panchayat Samiti/ Ward Samiti
