Quality of Tribal Anganwadi centers - Kodaikanal (2)

In Kodaikanal, TN-FORCES and Madurai Institute of Social Sciences Students (Block Placement Training) did a study on Quality of Tribal Anganwadi centers from 26th May to 29th May, 2008. Forty Eight Anganwadi centers were visited by the team. It was found that in 14 centers the Child Care Services were not provided to the Children. This complaint was raised by the community people and the panchayat presidents. As per the Scheme Eggs were not delivered to the centers. The Eggs are kept at a particular place named B.L.SHED, in pannaikaddu which the workers and the helpers need to collect. Due to the inconvenience, time and money spent, the eggs are not reaching the Children in the proper time. Also it was found that the eggs are sold to Hotels and petty shops. The kodaikanal Anganwadi centers must be given special packaged programme. Wollen mats should be provided to the ICDS Centers. TN-FORCES presented a memorandum to the District collector and District Project Officer of ICDS.
