Mission Shakti

'Mission Shakti' is a scheme in mission mode aimed at strengthening interventions for women safety, security and empowerment. It seeks to realise the Government s commitment for women-led development by addressing issues affecting women on a life-cycle continuum basis and by making them equal partners in nation-building through convergence and citizen-ownership.

The objective of the Mission Shakti is to provide to all women and girls including differently-abled, socially and economically marginalized and vulnerable groups, in need of care and protection, with short term and long-term services and information for their holistic development and empowerment.

Mission Shakti has two sub-schemes - 'Sambal' and 'Samarthya'. In the Sambal subscheme, which is for safety and security of women, the existing scheme of One Stop Centre (OSC), Women Helpline (WHL), Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) have been included with modifications and a new component of Nari Adalat - women collective has been added
