The Maharashtra government has taken a significant step to enhance support for women by approving a dedicated budget head for One Stop Centres (OSCs).
These centers, funded entirely by the Centre, provide crucial integrated services such as psychological counselling, medical aid, police assistance, temporary shelter, and legal support, to women in distress.
The establishment of a separate accounting head aims to streamline funds for the routine operations of OSCs, ensuring they function effectively without financial hitches. The decision is part of the broader Mission Shakti scheme under the Sambal sub-scheme, with oversight by the Commissioner of Women and Child Development in Pune.
