## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF WOMEN AND CHILD EVELOPMENT (DR. VIRENDRA KUMAR)

- (a) No  such  data  is  maintained  by  the  Ministry.  The  beneficiaries  under  the  Anganwadi Services of Integrated Child Development Services Scheme are identified on the basis of Aadhaar car which is used as identify document for services or benefits which brings in transparency and efficiency and enables beneficiaries to get their entitlements.

The  beneficiaries  not  possessing  Aadhaar  card  are  assisted  by  the  field functionaries to obtain the Aadhaar card. Till such time, they are provided the services on the basis of alternative identification document. This is an important tool to eliminate fake beneficiaries, if any.

- (b) Yes Madam, the Government has launched Integrated Child Development Services Common  Application  Software  (ICDS-CAS)  application  and  procurement  of  smart phones is part of POSHAN Abhiyaan. The purpose of use of smart phones is to do Real Time  Monitoring  besides  capturing  other  related  data  which  is  recorded  in  the  bulky registers used by the AWWs. The details of smart phones procured by the States/UTs are at Annexure-I.
