The Swadhar Scheme purports to address the specific vulnerability of each group of women in difficult circumstances through a Home-based holistic and integrated approach. State intervention available through old age home, short stay home, Nari Niketan etc., cover only a fringe of the problems of such women.

Swadhar aims at covering the primary needs of shelter, food, clothing, and care besides emotional support, counselling and a package for rehabilitation and reintegration specifically for the Women and girls rescued from trafficking. The Home strength is ranging from 50 - 200 beneficiaries. Presently 19 Homes are implementing the Scheme
