Integrated Child Protection Scheme (ICPS) is a centrally sponsored scheme, implemented by the Union Ministry of Women and Child Development 2009-10. The objective of ICPS is creating a safe and secure environment for children in conflict with law as well as children in need of care and protection. The scheme is based on the cardinal principles of “protection of child rights” and the “best interest of the child”. It is an umbrella scheme bringing several existing child protection programmes under one roof, with improved norms. This Scheme incorporates other essential interventions aimed at addressing issues which have so far not been covered by earlier Schemes.
