ICDS and Its Impact on Child Health: A Case Study of Bisra block of Sundargarh district, Odisha.

Abstract The Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme is crucial for enhancing child health, nutrition, and early education throughout India. This study examines the impact of ICDS on child health specifically in the Bisra Block, focusing on the effectiveness of ICDS services and the role of Anganwadi Centers (AWCs) in delivering healthcare, nutrition, and early childhood education. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research analyzes key child health indicators, including nutritional status, immunization coverage, and growth monitoring among children enrolled in ICDS programs. Data are collected through surveys, interviews with Anganwadi workers, and secondary sources, providing insights into the accessibility and quality of ICDS services. The study highlights the importance of AWCs in implementing essential health and nutrition interventions, including supplementary nutrition, immunization support, and preschool education. Preliminary findings indicate that while ICDS has significantly improved child health, challenges persist, such as inadequate infrastructure, insufficient resources, and gaps in service delivery. The study identifies critical barriers that impede the efficiency of ICDS services and explores community perceptions of its impact. The research aims to offer policy recommendations to enhance ICDS implementation in Bisra Block, thereby ensuring improved health outcomes for children. By addressing existing challenges and refining service delivery mechanisms, this study contributes to the broader discourse on child welfare programs in India.
Keywords ICDS, Child Health, Anganwadi Centers, Nutrition, Early Childhood Education, Bisra Block.
