The ICDS Scheme has an in-built monitoring system since its inception to track the physical progress of the scheme in respect of various input process, output and impact indicators through a standardized Management Information System (MIS) through regular reports on monthly, quarterly and half yearly basis. To strengthen the monitoring of Anganwadi Services Scheme revised MIS known as ICDS-Rapid Reporting System (RRS) has also been introduced for capturing the data of AWCs online. Under the ICDS-RRS each Anganwadi Centre is assigned a 11digit unique code and login password is allotted at the supervisor level to submit the monthly progress report. As on 31^st March 2019, out of 13,72,872 operational AWCs 13,61,714 AWCs have been assigned the 11digit unique code. The State-wise detail is given at Annexure-I.   Assigning the 11 digit unique code to the remaining AWCs is already on.

 

In addition, the digitization of physical registers has been taken up with roll-out of ICDS-CAS Software Application under POSHAN Abhiyaan Mission of Ministry of Women and Child Development.  The ICDS-CAS mobile based software enables the identification of underweight children based on auto-plotting of Growth Charts. The drill-down dashboard available at National, State, District, Block level contributes towards identifying and addressing the problem of nutrition. Thus, improve overall service delivery. As on 30^th June, 2019 more than 3,55,000 Anganwadi Workers are using ICDS-CAS Application across 21 States/UTs. The State-wise details are at Annexure -II.

 

 

Under POSHAN Abhiyaan Smart Phones are provided to Supervisors and Anganwadi workers to provide online data. The mechanism to implement the project in State/UTs include regular review through Video Conferencing, meetings and visits by officers to the States/UTs. The timeline to implement the activities under POSHAN Abhiyaan is March 2020 for all State/UTs.

 

The child beneficiaries under the Anganwadi Services Scheme are provided Supplementary Nutrition as per the guidelines. Monthly Village Health and Sanitation Day and Community Based Events are organised by States/UTs to improve status of nutrition of children. Pre-school Education is another service provided under the Anganwadi Services scheme.This covers non-formal education to the children in the age group of 3-6 years.  State/UTs are provided with the funds for Pre-School Education Kits for each Anganwadi Centre at Rs. 5,000/- per annum. Training is imparted to Anganwadi Workers so that they can improve the literacy and numeracy skills of children of their respective AWC.
