## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (Dr. VIRENDRA KUMAR)

- (a). Integrated  Child  Development  Services  (ICDS)  Scheme,  now  renamed  as  Anganwadi Services,  was launched in 1975 with the objectives to improve the nutritional and health status of children in the age-group 0-6 years, to lay the foundation for proper psychological, physical  and  social  development  of  the  child,  to  reduce  the  incidence  of  mortality, morbidity, malnutrition and school dropout, to achieve effective co-ordination of policy and implementation  amongst  the  various  departments  to  promote  child  development;  and  to enhance the capability of the mother to look after the normal health and nutritional needs of the child through proper nutrition and health education.

Under the scheme six services namely Supplementary Nutrition, Health & Nutrition Education, Pre-school Education, Immunization, Referral Services and Health Check-up are provided at the Anganwadi Centres (AWCs).  The beneficiaries of the scheme are children 0-6 years old and Pregnant Women & Lactating Mothers.  It is Centrally Sponsored Scheme implemented by the States/UTs.

The scheme is universal covering all the districts of the country.  Statements showing details  of  funds  allocated/released  and  utilised  and  the  number  of  beneficiaries  under  the scheme during each of the last three  years and the current  year, State/UT and component wise are enclosed as Annexures- I & II.

- (b). There are total 14 lakh AWCs sanctioned across the country out of which 13.63 lakh AWCs are operational as on 01.06.2018.  The level of child malnutrition has improved as per the data collected by NFHS-4 as compared to NFHS-3 status.
- (c). The scheme is implemented by the States/UTs. The deficiencies as and when reported are taken care of.
- (d). There is no such proposal under consideration. However, cost sharing ratio for implementation  of  the  scheme  for  North-eastern  and  Himalayan  States  has  been  fixed  at 90:10 as against 60:40 for other States/UTs (with legislature).
- (e) & (f) Monitoring  of  the  scheme  is  done  through  5-tier  monitoring  committees  at  the National, State, District, Block and Anganwadi level.   Besides, supervisory visits are made by the State/UT and senior officers of this Ministry.  As and when any deficiency is found, it is brought to the notice of States/UTs for taking corrective measures.
