However, allocation of Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) Scheme for current financial  year  has  been  increased  from  Rs.  8335.77  to  Rs.  15485.77  crore.  The  funds  for Supplementary Nutrition are released to the States on the basis of number of beneficiaries availing the service. Therefore, there will be no impact on the nutrition of the children due to decrease of allocation of funds under ICDS.
