The Central Government has decided to equip the Anganwadi centres across the country with tablet PC devices.
Tablet PC devices will have with a customized software for regular monitoring of nutrition supply to malnourished children.
The software will enable anganwadi workers to upload various data like dietary intake and health updates of children and supply of food grains and supplementary nutrition on a daily basis.
The move will help the government assess the impact of its flagship programme for providing supplementary nutrition - Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) - through regular monitoring and supervision and bridge the gap between recommended diet and average daily intake.
A senior official of Women and Child Development ministry said, "Anganwadi centres will be provided with software-enabled tablet devices through which they would be able to upload data as and when required. It will help them record the nutrition supply levels of the children and upload it directly."
