## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)

(a) & (b) : Keeping in view the acute shortage of AWC buildings, Joint Guidelines by Ministry of Rural Development, Panchayati Raj and Women & Child Development were issued for construction of 4 lakh Anganwadi buildings across the country in convergence with Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS). Under convergence with MNREGS, funds for construction of 29941 AWC buildings in 2015-16 and 81447 AWC buildings in 2016-17 were released to States/UTs. State-wise details of funds released and units approved for construction of AWC buildings in convergence with MNREGS is at Annexure-I.

However,  subsequently  under  the  revised  scope  of  Anganwadi  Services  implemented from  01.12.2017,  the  central  assistance  for  construction  of  new  Anganwadi  Centre building is available in rural areas in convergence with MGNREGS on reimbursable basis after completion of construction. Details of units approved, funds allocated during 201819  and  2019-20  to  all  States/UTs  under  the  scheme  including  Andhra  Pradesh  is  at Annexure-II .  Under  the  said  scope,  State  Government  of  Andhra  Pradesh  have constructed 3960 AWCs during 2018-19.

(c) to (e) : To monitor the efficient functioning of Anganwadi Centres, Government has introduced 5-tier monitoring and review mechanism at different levels (National/State/District/Block and Anganwadi level) for monitoring the status of implementation  of  the  scheme.  Government  has  issued  guidelines  on  31.03.2011  for constitution of Monitoring and Review Committees at different levels to review progress in implementation of the Scheme.
