Gandhi also unveiled a website for NGOs called e-SAMVAD, an interactive portal allowing NGOs to contact the ministry and share their feedback, suggestions, grievances and their best practices.

Interacting with the press, the minister said the government will initiate a trial run of mobile phones with a panic button from January 26 in Uttar Pradesh.

Although the government in an order in April 2016 made it mandatory for all mobile phone manufactures to provide a panic button feature in cellphones from January 2017, its implementation has been delayed.

The move aims at improving security for women by providing them a tool to alert the local police.
