Explanation

The Nirbhaya Fund was established in 2013 as a non-lapsable corpus fund dedicated to projects enhancing the safety and security of women [2]. According to the official Nirbhaya Fund Framework, the fund is administered by the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) under the Ministry of Finance [1]. While the Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD) serves as the nodal ministry for appraising and recommending proposals through an Empowered Committee, the actual administration of the corpus remains with the Ministry of Finance [1]. The Ministry of Finance is responsible for the final allocation and release of funds based on these recommendations. This administrative structure ensures that while MWCD provides technical and policy oversight, the financial management of the non-lapsable corpus is handled by the central finance department [1].
