Anganwadi centres to use IT-enabled services for better functioning

Amidst the Prime Minister’s ‘Digital India’ push, anganwadi centres across the country are set to use IT-enabled services to improve their performance with Anganwadi Workers (AWWs) and officials to be handed tablet devices and smartphones towards that end.

Over three lakh anganwadi centres in 162 districts identified as severely malnourished are set to undergo a strengthening and nutrition improvement project to be launched by the Women and Child Development Ministry with the help of World Bank.
