₹4,200 crore has been utilised.

In Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Delhi, around ₹305 crore, ₹304 crore and ₹413 crore was utilised till
now, respectively, out of the total funds that were released to them.
In Telangana ₹200 crore, Madhya Pradesh ₹94 crore, and Maharashtra ₹254 crore were utilised till
2021-22.
The money under the fund has been utilised for establishing one stop centres, making safety devices,
setting up fast-track courts and to procure forensic kits for sexual assault cases among others.
When asked why the 30 per cent of the fund remains unutilised, the official said various factors such as
time taken in getting required approvals from competent authorities, procedure to be followed for award
of contract, disruptions due to unforeseen reasons such as one created by Covid are the main reasons for
the delay.

The chapter of 2012 gangrape and murder case of 'Nirbhaya' concluded with the hanging of four convicts
last year. Of the six accused, Ram Singh allegedly committed suicide at the Tihar Jail. One of them a
juvenile was convicted by a juvenile justice board.
Women rights activist Ranjana Kumari said the "under-utilisation of the fund shows that there is no
commitment for women security in the government.
There is mismanagment of the fund and that is why it has not been utilised till now" she said.
Activist Yogita Bhayana said, "It has been 10 years and things are going from bad to worse and women
safety is a far-fetched dream and we need to work towards it.
