The Government has reviewed the implementation of Swadhar Greh Scheme to provide institutional framework for women victims of difficult circumstances through several meetings/video conferences with the State Governments/UTs, and conducted the inspection of Swadhar Greh during the year.

The Swadhar Greh scheme envisages monitoring of the implementing agencies at District, State and Central level. Swadhar Grehs are monitored continuously by a District Monitoring Committee where at least two members are women, the district committee meets at least once in a quarter. Monitoring Committee at State level meets at least twice a year and monitors the projects. Continuation of grant to any agency depends on the satisfactory performance as assessed by the State/UT level Committee. Ministry of Women and Child Development also reviews the functioning of the Swadhar Greh at regular intervals with the State Governments/UT administrations.
