The scheme is now  universalized  and  self-selecting.  Under  the  Scheme,  7076  Projects  have  been approved  and  14  lakh  AWCs  have  been  sanctioned.    As  on  31.12.2015,  7072  ICDS Projects  and  13.49  lakhs  AWCs  are  functioning across  the  country.  The  services  are currently being provided to 1030.14 lakh beneficiaries including 837.04 lakh children below six years of age and 193.10 lakh Pregnant Women and Lactating Mothers.  Preschool  education  is  being  provided  to  354.05  lakh  children  of  3-6  years  of  age. State/UT-wise funds released and expenditure reported by them under ICDS Scheme during last three years and current year is Annexed.
- (b)     No, Madam.
- (c)&(d)    Some representations have been received in the Ministry against privatisation of ICDS Scheme and for higher allocation of ICDS from Anganwadi Workers' Federation. As there is no proposal under consideration to privatise or outsource the services of ICDS and sufficient funds have been allocated to the Ministry for implementation of the ICDS Scheme, Federations were replied accordingly.
