India is a welfare state. It is committed to the welfare and development of its people in general and of vulnerable sections in particular. Vulnerable groups are the groups which would be vulnerable under any circumstance. But the vulnerable sections of the society are facing lots of abuses which includes physical, sexual, mental, emotional, financial or a combination of these, that is likely to cause death, serious physical or psychological harm to a vulnerable person or significant loss to his or her property. Crimes against these vulnerable groups are increasing day by day.
