Statement B is partially true as NGOs are involved, but the scheme is a government initiative implemented through a framework involving government funding and oversight, not solely by NGOs providing direct aid independently.
Statement C is incorrect. The Ujjwala scheme has five components: Prevention, Rescue, Rehabilitation, Re-integration, and Repatriation. It omits the ‘Re-integration’ component.
Statement D is too restrictive. While the scheme significantly focuses on victims of commercial sexual exploitation, it is designed to address trafficking for all forms of exploitation recognized under the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956, and other relevant laws.
