Starting February 2025, each One Stop Center will also be equipped with a dedicated vehicle to provide swift assistance to victims in distress.

Currently, 79 One Stop Centers are operational in 75 districts of the state. So far, these centers have extended support in over 2.10 lakh cases involving women and girls.
