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 Himachal Pradesh is also running a flagship scheme ICDS (Integrated Child Development Service) to cater child development across the state. The ICDS adopts a multi-sectoral approach to child well being, incorporating health, education and nutrition interventions, and is implemented through a network of Anganwari centers (AWCs) at the community level. At present ICDS are running 12 districts in Himachal Pradesh. Beneficiaries of different services provided by Anganwari 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.
