Collector directs correct sized eggs be supplied to anganwadi centres
In an apt move to improve nutritional status of children and nursing mothers amid COVID-19 pandemic, the district administration has turned its focus on ensuring supply of eggs of the prescribed weight of 50 gms each to the anganwadi centres (AWCs) under the supplementary nutrition programme. Eggs, the nutrient rich superfood, and other food items of the Take Home Ration (THR) menu are being delivered at the homes of the beneficiaries under the 11 projects/blocks of the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme in the district owing to closure of the AWCs due to the pandemic. Around 36,815 children in the pre-school age group of seven months to three years and a little over 36,000 children of 3 to 6 years age group and 17,682 pregnant and lactating women are being provided supplementary nutrition at their homes, sources in the Women, Children, Disabled and Senior Citizens (DWCD&SC) Welfare Department.
