State raises need for timely release of funds sought by NGOs at women’s panel meet

Timely release of funds under Centrally sponsored schemes, transportation facilities for travel of survivors of crimes, reinstatement of the post of counsellors in Swadhar Greh centres, and uniformity in staff salary in Swadhar Greh and one-stop centres, are some of the proposals put forth by the State at the regional consultation meet of southern States and Union Territories organised by the National Commission for Women here on Wednesday.

Swadhar Greh caters to the primary needs of women in difficult circumstances, Ujjwala is a scheme for prevention of trafficking and rescue and rehabilitation of survivors, and one-stop centres support women affected by violence.

After Swadhar Greh and Ujjwala implemented through various non-governmental organisations were subsumed in Mission Shakti and renamed as Shakti Sadan, there has been some change in the project implementation. The problems faced by NGOs as a result of this were discussed at the meet.
