The Fast Track Special Courts (FTSCs) is a centrally sponsored scheme launched in October 2019. 

The Prime Minister of India has approved the continuation of FTSCs for three years as a centrally sponsored scheme with financial implications.

The Nirbhaya Funds will be used as central shares for the scheme.

The Criminal Amendment Act of 2018 led to the establishment of Fast Track Special Courts under a centrally sponsored scheme to dispose of cases related to rape and the POCSO Act(Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses)

Through these courts, certain cases of a heinous character, civil cases involving women, children, elderly people, people with disabilities, people suffering from terminal illnesses, etc., and property-related issues that have been standing for longer than five years were all expeditiously tried.

Including 414 exclusive POCSO courts in districts with more than 100 POCSO Act cases, 761 FTSCs have been operationalized in thirty states/union territories.

They have so far resolved over 1,95,000 cases.

The motto is to ensure a substantial reduction in pending cases of rape and the POCSO Act by ensuring speedy access to justice for victims.
