ICDS in AP :
Integrated Child Development ServicesThe ICDS Scheme is a centrally
sponsored single largest integrated programme of Child Development
that was started in Andhra Pradesh in 1975-76. In 2007 ICDS was
revised and universalized to specifically address key objectives like
reduction of malnutrition in 0-6 year Children, reduction of Children
with low Birth Weight, reduction of Infant Mortality Rate, Maternal
Mortality Rate and other measures for improving the over-all health
and nutrition condition women and children. The ICDS programme
provides Supplementary Nutrition to children between 6 months to 6
years, Pregnant and Lactating Mothers, Non-formal Pre-School Education
to 3-6 years Children, Health check-ups Referral services and
Immunization to Children and Women. However, Andhra Pradesh figures
lower in ranking than Bihar and even Bangladesh in terms of IMR, MMR
and Nutrition of women and Child. In fact IMR, MMR and Women and Child
Health is one of the MDG goals that AP is far away from attaining by
2015. Concerned about the women and child health parameters, the
Planning Department has initiated measures like - starting an
integrated MIS on health parameters, conducting a base line survey,
and a focused target based intervention policy along with the Health
Department and ICDS Mission. The Projects/ mandals of concern with
reference to IMR, MMR, and Nutrition have been identified and an
intervention strategy initiated to address this.
