Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS)

Under the Partnership Initiative with the Chandigarh Administration, Bharat Prakarsh Foundation is monitoring 16 AIE centers and 14 Anganwari centers under ICDS for quality improvement.
The ICDS Project was started by the Ministry of Human Resources Development in 1975-76 with an aim of holistic development of children and empowerment of mothers.The incidences of mortality, morbidity and malnutrition among the children was very high. To reduce these incidences, ICDS Projects were started with an objective to improve the nutritional and health status of pre-school children by providing a package of services including supplementary nutrition, pre-school education, immunization, health check-up, referral services, nutrition and health education.The successful implementation of this scheme rests on the commitment of Anganwari workers who are the grass root honorary workers. The AWCs caters to day care of 3-6 year old children. We want to initiate a Model Anganwari Project- "Phulwari" which can be replicated across the country.
