The One Stop Centre scheme, frequently mentioned in discussions on women's safety during 2025–26, is funded primarily through which mechanism of the Government of India?
Nirbhaya Fund supporting integrated assistance for women affected by violence
The One Stop Centre (OSC), also known as Sakhi, is a centrally sponsored scheme run by the Ministry of Women and Child Development to support women affected by violence in public and private spaces.
Each centre offers integrated medical aid, police assistance, legal and psychological counselling, and temporary shelter under one roof.
The scheme is financed through the Nirbhaya Fund, a dedicated non-lapsable corpus set up under the Ministry of Finance for initiatives enhancing the safety and security of women.
Rashtriya Mahila Kosh finances micro-credit for women, District Mineral Foundation funds mining-region welfare, and NSAP supports pensions for vulnerable households, so none of these fund the OSC scheme.
Hence, the One Stop Centre scheme is funded primarily through the Nirbhaya Fund.
