Abstract:
:The distribution of supplementary nutrition (SN) to beneficiaries is an issue of debate in the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) program, discussed in almost all fora in which the scheme is on the agenda. ICDS program managers rightly decided in 1975 to make SN a program component, and it should remain so. However, in areas which are relatively better off, where program beneficiaries do not require SN, the discontinuation of SN can be considered. More than 3 lakh Anganwadi Centers (AWCs) are operating in India. No solid data are available on how many AWCs are closed when SN is not available. Many Anganwadi workers are taking innovative approaches for the holistic development of children even without SN. Although the process of growth monitoring (GM) is not being conducted as it was conceptualized, experience is being gained in the field. Based upon feedback received from independent evaluating agencies, mid-course changes have been made to the ICDS. For example, training activities have been made more realistic.
