Anganwadi centers across the country will soon go hi-tech with the government planning to equip them with tablet devices installed with customized software for regular reviewing of nutrition supply to malnourished children. The software will enable Anganwadi Workers (AWWs) to upload various data like dietary intake and health updates of children and supply of foodgrains and supplementary nutrition on an everyday basis.

"Anganwadi centers 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," a senior official of Women and Child Development Ministry said. "By equipping them with tablets we would be able to identify malnourished children much faster and more nutrition can be supplied," he added.

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.
