Under POSHAN Abhiyaan, Aanganwadi workers (AWWs) have been technologically empowered with the provision of smartphones procured through Government e-Market (GeM) for efficient service delivery. A total of 11.03 lakhs Smartphones have been procured by 33 States/UTs which includes the state of Andhra Pradesh.
The mobile application of POSHAN Abhiyaan digitizes and automates physical registers used by Aanganwadi workers. This saves the time of AWWs and AWHs, and improves the quality of their work while simultaneously allowing them real-time monitoring.
Under POSHAN Abhiyaan, the budgetary allocation is for the programme components like ICT Application, Convergence, Community Mobilization, Behavioural Change & Jan Andolan, Capacity Building, Incentives and Awards, and Innovations. As on 31st March 2021, Rs. 5,31,279.08 lakhs have been released to all 36 States/UTs under POSHAN Abhiyaan. The State/UT wise fund released details including for the state of Andhra Pradesh is at Annexure-I.
This information was given by the Union Minister of Women and Child Development, Smt. Smriti Zubin Irani, in a written reply in Rajya Sabha today.
