<h1>Parliamentary Panel Highlights Gaps in Mission Vatsalya and Mission Shakti, Calls for Reforms and Improved Accountability</h1> A parliamentary panel has identified several issues in the implementation of Mission Vatsalya, citing gaps in fund utilization, lack of trained personnel, and vacancies affecting its efficacy. Despite an increase in Child Care Institutions, inadequate monitoring and absence of trained social workers hinder child protection services. The report recommends revamping CCIs with national accreditation and annual audits, launching a National Foster Care Promotion Campaign, and improving accountability through AI-powered tracking systems. It also highlights issues in Mission Shakti, noting underutilization of funds and budget cuts in the One Stop Centre scheme, urging better coordination and timely fund disbursal.
