They can only translate it into the local language.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It also talks about the fund&#8217;s disbursement. The Mission Vatsalya Project Approval Board will allocate funds to various states and union territories for various projects. The fund will be shared by the center and states proportionally. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The ratio for all states and union territories is 60:40, except for a few states. Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Union Territory of Jammu &amp; Kashmir, and the eight states in the North-East will have a ratio of 90:10. In a union territory with no legislature, the center will provide all the funds for initiatives under Mission Vatsalya.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To read the detailed guidelines, visit:\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/wcd.nic.in\/acts\/guidelines-mission-vatsalya\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">https:\/\/wcd.nic.in\/acts\/guidelines-mission-vatsalya<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Women and Children are an essential part of our society.
