## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI MANEKA SANJAY GANDHI)

- (a) The  Integrated  Child  Development  Services  (ICDS)  Scheme,  launched  in  1975,  is  a centrally sponsored flagship scheme of the Government of India implemented by the State Governments/UT Administrations with the objectives, a) to  improve the nutritional and health status of children in the age-group 0-6 years; b)     to lay the foundation for proper psychological, physical and social development of the child; c)      to reduce the incidence of  mortality,  morbidity,  malnutrition  and  school  dropouts;  d)      to  achieve  effective  coordination  of  policy  and  implementation  amongst  the  various  departments  to  promote child  development;  and  e)       to  enhance  the  capability  of  the  mothers  to  look  after  the normal health  and nutritional  needs  of  the  children  through  proper  nutrition  and  health education.

These objectives  are  achieved  by  providing  a  package  of  six  services  by  Anganwadi Workers  (AWWs)/  Anganwadi  Helpers  (AWHs) under the ICDS  scheme,  viz., Supplementary Nutrition, Pre-school non-formal education, Nutrition & Health Education , Immunization , Health check-up and Referral services.

Three of  the  six  services  viz.,  immunization,  health  check-up  and  referral  services  are related  to  health  and  are  provided  by  Auxiliary  Nurse  Mid-wife  (ANM)/Medical Officer (MO) of NRHM & Public Health Infrastructure.

The target groups for these services are children below 6 years and pregnant and lactating mothers.

- (b) The details of number of children benefited under Universal Immunization Programme (UIP) as per Health Management Information System (HMIS) 2016-17, StateUT-wise is given at Annexure.
