The Secretary also directed to monitor Mukhya Mantri Sukh Aashray
Yojna and take a personal interest in the implementation of all the components related to beneficiaries, as
as the government has adopted the orphans as the “Children of the State” and their needs should be taken care of by the District Administration so that they can be provided the best education, accommodation, and other facilities meant for them.

Maximum awareness should be done about ‘One Stop Centers’ and their location in each district so that women in distress can seek temporary shelter and have access to legal, mental, and psychological counseling. Similarly, awareness should also be created about hubs set up for the Empowerment of Women, both at State and District levels, to advise and counsel women on welfare measures under State schemes as well those of the Union government.
