(a) & (b) The Government approved in November, 2017 Mahila Shakti Kendra Scheme, as a centrally sponsored scheme, under Ministry of Women and Child Development to empower rural women through community participation. The scheme aims to facilitate inter-sectoral convergence of schemes and programs meant for women both at the Central and State/UT level. The scheme envisages community engagement through College Student Volunteers in 115 aspirational districts as part of block level initiatives; District Level Centre for Women (DLCW) in 640 districts to facilitate women centric schemes and provide foothold for Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) scheme; State Resource Centre for Women to support respective government in implementation of women centric schemes/programs and also function as Project Management Unit for BBBP Scheme with separate funds allocated for State/UT level activities.
The POSHAN Abhiyaan is also being implemented since 18th December 2017 to improve nutritional status of Children from 0-6 years, Adolescent Girls, Pregnant Women and Lactating Mothers in a time bound manner with fixed targets.
The Pradhan Mantri Matru VandanaYojana (PMMVY), is effective from1st January, 2017 for pregnant women and lactating mothers to partially compensate for the wage loss that may occur during pregnancy and promote a health seeking behavior.
The Ministry of Panchayati Raj on 24th April, 2018 launched the restructured Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan (RGSA) with the primary aim of strengthening Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) by way of capacity building and training (CB&T) for their Elected Representatives (ERs) for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with the priority to aspirational districts and cluster under Mission Antyodaya. The scheme has programmatic focus for basic orientation training within six months and refresher training within two years in respect of approx 31 lakhs of Panchayats out of which sizable number (42%) are elected women representative (EWRs). RGSA also focuses on Self Help Group (SHG)-PRI convergence to ensure effective community mobilisation and greater women participation in social, economic and political activities.
(c) Funds released under Mahila Shakti Kendra Scheme (Financial Year 2017-18 up to Financial Year 2019-2020) State/UT-wise is at Annexure I. Funds released to States/UTs under Rashtriya Gram SwarajAbhiyan (RGSA) during the year 2018-19 & 2019-20 is at Annexure-II.
(d) & (e) Under Mahila Shakti Kendra Scheme, Capacity Building of Women Collectives is envisaged in collaboration with Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) / Co-operatives Societies / Krishi Vigyan Kendras in not more than 50% of the MSK blocks in the 115 aspirational districts to address livelihood needs of women particularly those in remote/vulnerable areas where women are not in a position to move out individually of their immediate surroundings for formal skill training. DC/DM of the concerned aspirational district is mandated to call for proposals from Non-governmental organizations/other institutions and evaluate their viability as per Addendum dated 20th December 2018.
