Anganwadi
The word Anganwadi means "courtyard shelter" in Indian languages. They were started by the Indian government in 1975 as part of the Integrated Child Development Services program to combat child hunger and malnutrition. A typical ''Anganwadi centre'' also provides basic health care in Indian villages. It is a part of the Indian public health-care system. Basic health-care activities include contraceptive counseling and supply, nutrition education and supplementation, as well as pre-school activities.〔(National Population Policy 2000 ), National Commission on Population website. Accessed February 13, 2008〕 The centres may also be used as depots for oral rehydration salts, basic medicines and contraceptives.
As many as 13.3 lakh Anganwadi and mini-Anganwadi Centres (AWCs/ mini-AWCs) are operational out of 13.7 lakh sanctioned AWCs/ mini-AWCs, as on 31.01.2013. These centres provide supplementary nutrition, non-formal pre-school education, nutrition and health education, immunization, health check-up and referral services of which later three services are provided in convergence with public health systems.〔()〕
== Worker functions ==
The basic work of Anganwadi workers is extremely important and needs to be carried out in the most efficient manner possible.They need to provide care for newborn babies as well as ensure that all children below the age of 6 are immunized or in other words have received vaccinations. They are also expected to provide antenatal care for pregnant women and ensuring that they are immunized against tetanus. In addition to this they must also provide post natal care to nursing mothers. Since they primarily focus on poor and malnourished groups it becomes necessary to provide supplementary nutrition to both children below the age of 6 as well as nursing and pregnant women. Consistently they need to ensure that regular health and medical check ups of women who fall between the age group of 15 to 49 years take place and that all women and children have access to these check ups. They also need to work towards providing pre school education to children who are between 3 to 5 years old. from the person of the man
