New Delhi. Day: Wednesday. Date: 7 May 2014. Place: Bettiah, Bihar. BJP's election rally. BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi is saying- 'Brothers and sisters … Nirbhaya scandal happened on Delhi soil. A poor daughter was killed by persecution. He was raped This Nirbhaya incident happened in front of your eye. Is this low politics or not? You created Nirbhaya's fund of 1000 crores rupees, it has been a year, did not spend a single penny Is this despicable politics or not? Is this cheating with Nirbhaya, is it a low deed or not? Who does despicable politics?
It has been 5 years, 8 months and 5 days since Modi's statement. The Nirbhaya Fund made in the UPA Government is still there. But the Nirbhaya Fund which was started with an amount of one thousand crores. Its amount was halved in the Modi government itself. Thousands of crores of rupees were added to the Nirbhaya Fund for two years, but in the last three years only 1600 crores were added to it. However, in the very next year of the Modi government, 2015-16, no amount was given for it. It was not us, but the government itself that was told in Lok Sabha on 27 July 2018. At that time, on the question of 11 opposition MPs, the Ministry of Women and Child Development was told that by 2018-19, Rs 3,600 crore has been transferred to the public account for the Nirbhaya Fund. In the budget of 2018-19, an allocation of Rs 500 crore has been made for the Nirbhaya Fund, which is the lowest ever.

The condition of the states is also poor: Less than 9% of the funds given so far
Government started Nirbhaya Fund for the safety and security of women Tax and through this funds are also being given to the States / Union Territories. But despite this, these funds are not being used properly. All states / union territories get funds from different ministries to start projects for the protection of women. An amount of Rs 1672.21 crore has been provided by the Ministry of Home Affairs alone, but less than 9% of this means only Rs 146.98 crore has been spent. The highest amount of Rs 390.90 crore was given to Delhi by the Ministry of Home Affairs, but out of that only 19.41 crore was spent. This information was given by Smriti Irani in the Lok Sabha in response to a question on 9 November 2018.
