About ICDS Jammu and Kashmir

The ICDS Scheme has been a well conceived Scheme. But, the real problem lies in its implementation which arises out of inadequate funding, lack of convergence, accountability of those managing and implementing the programme, specially, at the level of Anganwadi centres and supervisory level, lack of community ownership and the general perception about this being a feeding programme and not an Early Childhood Development programme.

Consequent upon the deliberation held with the state Governments including J&K , different Ministries , Planning Commission and other stakeholders including civil society and voluntary organization across the country over the years . The Government of India has approved the strengthening and restructuring of ICDS on 22nd of October 2012. in mission mode at the state level

To create a society providing conducive atmosphere for growth and development in a safe and protective environment ;

Ensuring dignified life to the vulnerable groups such as children, women.

A transformed ICDS to ensure holistic physical, psychosocial, cognitive and emotional development of children under 6 years of age in nurturing, protective, child friendly and gender sensitive family, community, programme and policy environments with greater emphasis on children under 3 and promotion of optimal early childhood care, development & learning including maternal care.
