The scheme has been conceived primarily for the purpose of preventing trafficking on one hand and rescue and rehabilitation of victims on the other. The scheme provides for rehabilitation of victims by providing food, shelter, counseling, medical care, legal aid and vocational training as well as their reintegration into society.

(iv) Department of School Education and Literacy, Ministry of Education (MoE) is implementing SamagraShiksha - an Integrated Scheme for School Education (ISSE) under which various interventions have been targeted for Girls’ Education. Bridging gender and social category gaps at all levels of school education is one of the major objectives of the SamagraShiksha. In order to ensure greater participation of girls in education, various interventions under SamagraShiksha have been targeted. These interventions inter alia include (a) provision of free text-books to girls up to Class VIII (b) Uniforms to all girls, SC, ST children and Below Poverty Line (BPL) children up to class VIII (c) Provision for Self-Defence training for the girls from classes VI to XII, (d) Stipend to Children With Special Needs (CWSN) girls from class I to Class XII.
