a)   	Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) is a centrally sponsored Scheme implemented by the States/UTs.  The Scheme aims at holistic development of children below 6 years of age and pregnant women & lactating mothers.  The scheme provides for a package of six which are delivered at the Anganwadi Centres (AWCs).

Construction and upgradation of AWC buildings, as approved for the XII th Five Year Plan period, is an on-going activity.  Provision of a toilet is in-built in the AWC buildings approved for construction. As regards upgradation of AWC buildings, guidelines were issued to the States/UTs to construct at least one toilet per AWC upgradation sanctioned.  During 2014-15, against the target of construction of 15,772 AWC buildings with toilets, a total 20,743 toilets were constructed in the AWCs.  The State/UT wise details are as under:
