The rent for AWCs under ICDS Programme
has been enhanced by Government of India, w.e.f. 22.10.2012. The revised rate
of rent per AWC per month is up to Rs. 750/- in Rural/Tribal area, up to
Rs.3000/- in Urban area and up to Rs.5000/- in Metropolitan cities. This rent is applicable for AWCs offering a
space & facilities as per guidelines.
Integrated
Child Development Services (ICDS) Scheme did not have provision for
construction of AWC buildings under the scheme as this was envisaged to be
provided by the community except for the North Eastern States for which
financial support was being provided for construction of AWC buildings since
2001-02 at a unit cost of Rs.1.75 lakh.
As
part of Strengthening and Restructuring of ICDS Scheme, Government has approved
a provision of construction of 2 lakh Anganwadi Centre buildings @ Rs.4.5 lakh
per unit during XII Plan period in a phased manner with cost sharing ratio of
75:25 between Centre and State other than the NER, where it will be at 90:10.
Further,
construction of AWC has been notified as a permissible activity under MNREGA.
The construction of AWC building can be taken up in convergence with MNREGA. A
Joint letter in this regard has been issued by MWCD and MoRD to all States/ UTs
for planning and implementation by concerned Departments in the States/ UTs to
ensure the construction of AWCs in convergence with MNREGA.
States/
UTs have also been requested to leverage funds under various schemes like
MPLADs, MLALADs, BRGF, PRI, RIDF, MSDP, IAP, MNREGA, 13th Finance
Commission, ACA, State Plan and other area development project for construction
of AWC Buildings.
Government
has introduced
5-tier monitoring & review mechanism at National, State, District,
Block and Anganwadi Levels for which guidelines were issued on
31.03.2011.
In
order to ensure proper functioning of AWCs, under the strengthening and restructuring
of the ICDS revised Management Information System (MIS), Web based MIS and
provision for ICT at AWCs under ICDS, forging strong institutional convergence
with National Rural Health Mission and Total Sanitation Campaign, particularly,
at the district and village levels has been approved.
This was stated by Smt.
Krishna Tirath, Minister for Women and Child Development, in a written reply to
the Lok Sabha today.
