As per the provisions of the scheme, continuation of grant to an agency is incumbent on satisfactory performance reported by the State Government/Union Territory Administration. The Government receives performance reports from the State Government/Union Territory Administration from time to time and after considering the reports, further grants are released to the Implementing Agencies. Further, each sanctioned project is reviewed after three years of implementation.

The scheme was evaluated by Department of Social Work (Delhi School of Social Work), University of Delhi. As per the evaluation report, the scheme has been very well conceptualized with effective five components and the scheme should definitely be continued in future as it aims at dealing with the trafficking from the grassroots through prevention.

 

This was stated by Smt. Krishna Tirath, Minister for Women and Child Development, in a written reply to the Lok Sabha today.
