INTRODUCTION
The Central Social Welfare Board was set up on 12th August, 1953 by a resolution of the Government of India. Its mandate and mission were to promote social welfare
activities and bridge the gap between the government and voluntary sector. Various welfare programmes, schemes, projects and activities were launched under the stewardship of Dr. Durgabai Deshmukh. A network of voluntary organizations was needed for the effective implementation and countrywide outreach of these programmes. State Social Welfare Boards were set up in 1954 in all 33 States and Union Territories. The Board gained its legal status in 1969 when it was registered as a charitable company under Section 25 of Companies Act, 1956.
Over the years, programmes like Rajiv Gandhi National Crèche Scheme for children of working and ailing mothers, Family Counselling Centres for rendering professional services in cases of marital and family discord and Short Stay Homes for providing shelter to women in distress have defined the identity of theBoard. These programmes are being implemented through a network of voluntary organizations attached with State Boards. A country wide monitoring machinery in the form of Field Officers supports the system. The Central Board continues its journey in bringing about holistic development through inclusive policies, programmes and schemes, and improving service standards and programme delivery.

FCC SUCCESS STORy
ABINASh RETURNS BACk TO SChOOL
Education sets the groundwork for a child’s future success and maximizes their future well-being. The implementation of Compulsory Education Act has given wings to the dreams of many children who wanted to succeed greatly in life. Abinash, a quiet and diligent student, was also one of them. He was studying in the 8th standard in Government school, Chembukudipatti, when he went missing on 13th October, 2016. His parents were informed that he was kidnapped. They searched the entire village for him but to no avail.
On the advice of the community and neighbours, they approached FCC, CRED. The counsellor noted all the details for rendering further legal assistance. The traumatized parents were provided with emotional support therapy.
Mr. S. Alagesan, Secretary CRED, who is a lawyer by profession, addressed the issue as serious and lodged an FIR in the police station (FIR No.529/10) on 14th October 2016. The police also joined in the search but Abinash was still not to be found two days since he went missing. Mr. Alagesan called Childline 1098 to report the case. The Childline team collaborated with CRED and investigated the matter. It was eventually found that Abinash was kidnapped by a man named Maruthu with whom he was last seen at the bus stand. Maruthu had abducted him to send him to work as a child labourer. CRED contacted the kidnapper’s parents and asked them to find his location. Finally, Abinash was safely reunited with his parents and he returned back to school to complete his education.

The increased opportunities for employment for women and the need to supplement household income has led to more and more women entering the job market. With the breaking up of joint family system and the increased phenomenon of nuclear families, working women need support in terms of quality and substitute care for their young children while they are at work. Creche and day-care services are required by not only working mothers but also women belonging to poor families who are in need of childcare support and relief as they struggle to cope with the burden of multiple activities, within and outside the home.
The schematic pattern of the scheme has been revised from 1st January, 2016, and now each crèche centre is provided with Rs. 1,36,440/- per year.

SEEMA hAS WINGS TO FLy
The life story of Seema began as the neglected and older sibling who had to look after her two brothers, Sonu and Monu, and also perform all the daily chores. Her mother, a native of Andhra Pradesh, was a victim of commercial sexual exploitation. At such a tender age of 3 years, Seema had become responsible and mature. Ever since she started coming to the crèche centre when she was 6 months old, her dreary world looked brighter and she discovered the little joys of childhood through songs, dance and painting. When she turned 8 years old, she was admitted into the Government school. She would divide her day between school in the mornings and the crèche in the afternoons, doing her homework and enjoying the security of her surroundings.
Inspired by the centre activities, Seema started teaching the women in the basti and her brothers. She is still in school and showing remarkable progress in studies. The crèche workers convinced her mother to allow her to continue her studies and encourage her involvement in cultural activities. The mother agreed to send her two sons along with Seema to the crèche. Seeing her excellent academic performance, the crèche workers decided to send Seema to a girls college so that she could have greater access to opportunities and make remarkable progress in her life.

VIGILANCE
Central Social Welfare Board (CSWB) is a grant-giving body that aims to promote welfare and developmental activities for women and children across the country. The objectives of the Board are translated into reality through voluntary organizations. To prevent misutilization and misappropriation of funds, the Board accepted the jurisdiction of the Central Vigilance Commission in 1989. A vigilance cell was created in the Board which is currently being headed by Shri Arbind Kumar Sinha, Vigilance Officer and the Joint Director of CSWB.
The Board has a system of both regular and surprise inspections based on which grants are released. Organizations with unsatisfactory performance are debarred from further funding and even blacklisted if they have misappropriated funds. The Board also has a system of taking cognizance of the reporting/information of other government agencies regarding blacklisting/de-blacklisting of voluntary organizations. Based on these reports, three voluntary organizations have been blacklisted and two de-blacklisted.
During the year 2016-2017, the Vigilance Cell has received 12 new complaints, which have been examined, enquired into and attended to with necessary actions. Thirteen old complaint cases have been closed/disposed off, and two cases of disciplinary proceedings are pending.
A vigilance clearance has been issued in respect of 45 headquarter officials and 20 Field Officers of CSWB.
