The Government of India is implementing the Scheme for Adolescent Girls (SAG), a Centrally Sponsored Scheme, which focused on out of school adolescent girls in the age group of 11-14 years across the country. Under the Scheme, nutritional support is provided to Adolescent Girls wherein supplementary nutrition containing 600 calories, 18-20 grams of protein and micro-nutrients is provided for 300 days in a year.
Recently the Scheme for Adolescent Girls has been subsumed under Saksham Anganwadi & Mission Poshan 2.0. As adolescent girls in the age group 11-14 years are covered under Right to Education Act, 2009, the targeted beneficiaries under the revised scheme are adolescent girls in the age group of 14+ to 18 years in Aspirational Districts and North Eastern States. State/UT-wise details of funds released under SAG including Uttarakhand and other Himalayan states, is at Annexure-I.
Under SAG, the Anganwadi Worker undertakes home visits in her area, takes the help of PRIs, school teachers and other stakeholders to identify the beneficiaries.
State/UT-wise details of beneficiaries under SAG is at Annexure-II.
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.
