Abstract
Child development is key issue for any civil society and it can be achieved
through different focused interventions to improve the living standard
of poor people so that every mother can take good care of her child.
Government of India is also running a flagship scheme ICDS (Integrated
Child Development Scheme) to cater child development across the
country. The ICDS adopts a multi- sectoral approach to child well
being, incorporating health, education and nutrition interventions, and
is implemented through a network of Anganwadi centers (AWCs) at the
community level. At present ICDS is running all across India and it is
effective in the study area also. Beneficiaries of different services provided
by Anganwadi Centers and ICDS group interventions are satisfied but they
are still not much aware of different provisions of ICDS and other schemes
which can benefit them. This study also shows how small interventions at
grassroots level can change the scenario as well as the fruits of involving
beneficiaries in delivery mechanism of scheme itself. This participation
has improved their earnings and on the other hand increased their self
confidence.
