In India, recognizing the multifaceted needs of women affected by violence, the government launched the One Stop Centre (OSC) Scheme under the Nirbhaya Fund. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the OSC Scheme, examining its operational framework, achievements, and persistent challenges in providing integrated support services to survivors. Drawing upon a review of existing literature, policy documents, and news reports, the study highlights the scheme's pivotal role in offering immediate medical, police, legal, and psycho-social aid, along with temporary shelter, under a single roof. While the OSCs represent a crucial step towards survivor empowerment and a coordinated response to VAW, challenges related to funding utilization, infrastructure, staffing, and inter-agency coordination continue to impede their full potential. The analysis suggests that despite commendable efforts, sustained commitment, enhanced resource allocation, improved operational efficiency, and increased public awareness are imperative to fully realize the scheme's objectives and ensure comprehensive support for all women survivors across India.</p> Dr. Meera Rajan Copyright (c) 2025 Dr. Meera Rajan https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://theusajournals.com/index.php/ajsshr/article/view/6363 Tue, 01 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000
