The  cost  norms  for  construction  of  Anganwadi  Centres  in  convergence  with MGNREGS  is  Rs.12  Lakh  per  AWC  wherein  Rs.8.00  Lakh  is  provided  under MGNREGS, Rs.2.00 Lakh under 15th FC (or any other untied funds) and Rs.2.00 Lakh by MWCD per AWC to be shared between Centre and States/UTs in the prescribed cost sharing ratio.

(c)  &  (d):   As  per  the  information  provided  by  the  State  Government  of  Andhra Pradesh,  23,149  Anganwadi  Centers  do  not  have  permanent  buildings  in  Andhra Pradesh. The district-wise information is placed at Annexure-I. Construction of 360 Anganwadi  Buildings  was  completed  during  2023-24.  The  details  are  placed  at Annexure-II.
