Likely innovations proposed under APIP
1. Pre- fixed day viz. Anganwadi Divas in each month:
For various forms of community participation in ICDS such as, Wall painting at AWCs,
innovation of AWCs, preparation of PSE Day.This will help in increasing public interest
and further involvement of community, awareness about utility of ICDS among the
community.
2. Social Audit
The PIP has made provision for introducing social auditing system and to ensure
participatory decision making system in ICDS. It has also proposed to introduce public
display/ hearing system in implementation of the scheme.
3. Uniform for AWW ,
It has been proposed that apron with colour code can be provided in place of uniform
to the AWWs since the fund provided is not sufficient.
4. Mother’s Support Group or Matri Sahayak Gut:
With the objective of involving mothers of the primary beneficiaries i.e. children
below 6 years of age of the locality in management and operation of AWC & other
schemes. State Government have initiated, vide notification no. SWD.617/2011/61
dated 2nd March 2012, the constitution of ‘Mother’s Support Group (MSG) or Matri
Sahayak Gut’ in each of the AWCs in all the ICDS projects of Assam w.e.f. 1st April,
2012
Likely innovations proposed under APIP
5. The new schemes Viz SABLA is being implemented in 8 districts (Kamrup,
Kokrajhar, Dhubri, Dibrugrah, Darrang, Karbi Anglong, Hailakandi and Jorhat),
6. The program “IGMSY” taken as pilot project in two districts (Kamrup and
Goalpara) will be replicate to other districts in phased manner.
7. NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation center)
For management of Severe acute malnourished children four NRC are
established in 4 districts by NRHM, DSW will support the community care
component. This will be extended to six more districts – Dibrugarh, Morigaon,
Goalpara, Nalbari, Naogaon and Dhubri in 2012-13. (Approval of NRHM PIP
2012-13 has been received)
8. Kishori Diwas – The programme is arranged in “SABLA” districts for the
adolescent girls once in three months. All the enrolled adolescent girls of the
locality of an AWC are invited along with the parents. Necessary health checkups are done by the NRHM functionaries. They are given demonstration of
preparing nutritious recipes. Referral services are also rendered where
needed.
Likely innovations proposed under APIP
9. “Pratham Ahhar” to introduce complementary feeding, Prathom Ahar is
piloted in selected AWC of five districts jointly by NGO and DSW with
technical support of UNICEF and will be scaled up in all IGMSY and 10 NRC
districts for improving IYCN component with support of NRHM by using
VHSNC (Village Health, Sanitation and Nutrition Committee) funds.
10. “Matri Amrit” to strengthen ANC services and counselling to pregnant mother,
Mtriamrit is piloted in selected AWC of five districts jointly by NGO and DSW
with support of UNICEF will be scaled up in all IGMSY and SABLA districts
with support of NRHM by using VHSNC (Village Health, Sanitation and
Nutrition Committee) funds .
11. Kitchen gardens: Kitchen Garden is an innovative approach aiming to
promote nutrition security and food diversity to fulfil the additional nutritional
requirements of adolescence age. Adolescent girl clubs have been formed and
trained to develop and maintain kitchen gardens, proper cooking practices for
preserving nutrients through cooking demonstration and recipes contest with
the help of home science faculty of AMCH. New Kitchen Gardens in crèches
and Tea Garden Hospitals are developed.
Likely innovations proposed under APIP
12. Model AWC (adoption of 10 AWC by CDPOs):
With the view of developing AWCs provided with all facilities, it was initiated to
create 10 model AWCs from each ICDS projects. These AWCs will be developed
focusing on effective delivery of services by upgrading the skills of the AWWs and
AWHs through need based trainings and making available all the facilities in the
centers. Adoption of AWCs will be done in a phased manner by respective
CDPOs.
13. Creating field learning sites (FLS):
DSW has undertaken an initiative in developing selected focus AWCs as ‘Field
Learning Sites’ (FLS) which then will capacitate the nearby AWWs (10 AWCs per
focus AWCs) focusing in the areas of ICDS service delivery. The activities under
FLS are undertaken with active involvement of concerned Supervisors and
CDPOs under the guidance and support of the Directorate of Social Welfare,
Assam, UNICEF & local NGO. Keeping in mind the creative innovation of
adopting AWCs as FLS in the said districts, it is proposed to extend the concept in
the districts of Kamrup(R) and Goalpara. In the two districts efforts will be made to
create 10% of total AWCs as FLS by 2012-13.
Likely innovations proposed under APIP
14.
Increase involvement of AWMC members in AWC monitoring
through capacity building: To improve the implementation of ICDS
services, efforts were made in Dibrugarh district to strengthen
AWCMC and involve PRI members through orientation of AWCMC
and PRI members. The process would be gradually extended to
other districts as well.
15. Group supervision in difficult areas: As Assam is widely diverse
and complex in its topography from hilly terrain to uneven valley
including hilly areas, char areas, tea garden areas, and forest and
border areas, riverine areas etc., AWCs located in these areas are
not easily accessible for ICDS Supervisors. Therefore, regular
supervision of these AWCs has posed a major challenge for the ICDS
functionaries. To address this challenge, Group Supervision was
initiated. This practice has been proved to be rewarding.
Likely innovations proposed under APIP
16. Accreditation of AWCs: Since the Ministry of Women and Child
Development is insisting on a uniform system for grading the AWCs
across the country on the basis of overall quality of service being
rendered by each AWC to improve the present status of the
programme, an initiative was taken by Dibrugarh district with support
from UNICEF. It is proposed to adopt the process of accrediting the
AWCs in 13 districts in 2012-13.
17. Increase involvement of AWMC members in AWC monitoring
through capacity building: To improve the implementation of ICDS
services, efforts were made in Dibrugarh district to strengthen
AWCMC and involve PRI members through orientation of AWCMC
and PRI members. The innovation is proposed to scale-up in three
ICDS projects viz. Titabor (Jorhat district), Chaygaon (Kamrup district)
and Dimoria (Kamrup district) in 2012-13.
18. The Developmental Screening Schedule (DSS), namely the
Childhood Developmental Screening Schedule-Mental Health
(CDSS-MH) is specifically developed to be used in the Anganwadi
centres of Assam for children in the age group of 0 to 6 years. Such
