Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) Scheme

Launched on 2 nd October 1975, today, ICDS Scheme represents one of the world’s largest and most unique programmes for early childhood development. ICDS is the foremost symbol of India’s commitment to her children – India’s response to the challenge of providing pre-school education on one hand and breaking the vicious cycle of malnutrition, morbidity, reduced learning capacity and mortality, on the other.

1. Objectives: The Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) Scheme was launched in 1975 with the following objectives:

  • to improve the nutritional and health status of children in the age-group 0-6 years;
  • to lay the foundation for proper psychological, physical and social development of the child;
  • to reduce the incidence of mortality, morbidity, malnutrition and school dropout;
  • to achieve effective co-ordination of policy and implementation amongst the various departments to promote child development; and
  • to enhance the capability of the mother to look after the normal health and nutritional needs of the child through proper nutrition and health education.

2 . Services : The above objectives are sought to be achieved through a package of services comprising:

  • supplementary nutrition,
  • immunization,
  • health check-up,
  • referral services,
  • pre-school non-formal education and
  • nutrition & health education.

The concept of providing a package of services is based primarily on the consideration that the overall impact will be much larger if the different services develop in an integrated manner as the efficacy of a particular service depends upon the support it receives from related services.

*AWW assists ANM in identifying the target group.

Three of the six services namely Immunisation, Health Check-up and Referral Services delivered through Public Health Infrastructure under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare.

2.1 Nutrition including Supplementary Nutrition: This includes supplementary feeding and growth monitoring; and prophylaxis against vitamin A deficiency and control of nutritional anaemia. All families in the community are surveyed, to identify children below the age of six and pregnant & nursing mothers. They avail of supplementary feeding support for 300 days in a year. By providing supplementary feeding, the Anganwadi attempts to bridge the caloric gap between the national recommended and average intake of children and women in low income and disadvantaged communities.

Growth Monitoring and nutrition surveillance are two important activities that are undertaken. Children below the age of three years of age are weighed once a month and children 3-6 years of age are weighed quarterly. Weight-for-age growth cards are maintained for all children below six years. This helps to detect growth faltering and helps in assessing nutritional status. Besides, severely malnourished children are given special supplementary feeding and referred to medical services.

2.2 Immunization: Immunization of pregnant women and infants protects children from six vaccine preventable diseases-poliomyelitis, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, tuberculosis and measles. These are major preventable causes of child mortality, disability, morbidity and related malnutrition. Immunization of pregnant women against tetanus also reduces maternal and neonatal mortality.

2.3 Health Check-ups: This includes health care of children less than six years of age, antenatal care of expectant mothers and postnatal care of nursing mothers. The various health services provided for children by anganwadi workers and Primary Health Centre (PHC) staff, include regular health check-ups, recording of weight, immunization, management of malnutrition, treatment of diarrhoea, de-worming and distribution of simple medicines etc.

2.4 Referral Services: During health check-ups and growth monitoring, sick or malnourished children, in need of prompt medical attention, are referred to the Primary Health Centre or its sub-centre. The anganwadi worker has also been oriented to detect disabilities in young children. She enlists all such cases in a special register and refers them to the medical officer of the Primary Health Centre/ Sub-centre.

2.5 Non-formal Pre-School Education (PSE)

2.6 Nutrition and Health Education: Nutrition, Health and Education (NHED) is a key element of the work of the anganwadi worker. This forms part of BCC (Behaviour Change Communication) strategy. This has the long term goal of capacity-building of women – especially in the age group of 15-45 years – so that they can look after their own health, nutrition and development needs as well as that of their children and families.

  • Funding Pattern: ICDS is a Centrally-sponsored Scheme implemented through the State Governments/UT Administrations. Prior to 2005-06, 100% financial assistance for inputs other than supplementary nutrition, which the States were to provided out of their own resources, was being provided by the Government of India. Since many States were not providing adequately for supplementary nutrition in view of resource constraints, it was decided in 2005-06 to support to States up to 50% of the financial norms or to support 50% of expenditure incurred by them on supplementary nutrition, whichever is less.
  • From the financial year 2009-10, Government of India has modified the funding pattern of ICDS between Centre and States. The sharing pattern of supplementary nutrition in respect of North-eastern States between Centre and States has been changed from 50:50 to 90:10 ratio. So far as other States and UTs, the existing sharing pattern of 50:50 continues. However, for all other components of ICDS, the ratio has been modified to 90:10(100% Central Assistance earlier).

4. Population Norms :-

The revised Population norms for setting up a Project, Anganwadi Centre and Mini-AWC are as under:

(i) Community Development Block in a State should be the unit for sanction of an ICDS Project in rural/tribal areas, irrespective of number of villages/population in it.

(ii) The existing norm of 1 lakh population for sanction of urban project may continue.

Further to this, for blocks with more than two lac population, States could opt for more than one Project ( @ one per one lac population) or could opt for one project only. In the latter case, staff could be suitably strengthened based on population or number of AWCs in the block. Similarly, for blocks with population of less than 1 lac or so, staffing pattern of CDPO office could be less than that of a normal block.

Anganwadi Centres

For Rural/Urban Projects

400-800 1 AWC

800-1600 - 2 AWCs

1600-2400 - 3 AWCs

Thereafter in multiples of 800 1 AWC

For Mini-AWC

150-400 1 Mini-AWC

For Tribal /Riverine/Desert, Hilly and other difficult areas/ Projects

300-800 - 1 AWC

For Mini- AWC

150-300 1 Mini AWC

5. Supplementary Nutrition Norms:

5.1 Financial norms :- The Government of India has recently, revised the cost of supplementary nutrition for different category of beneficiaries vide this Ministry’s letter No. F.No. 4-2/2008-CD.II dated 07.11.2008, the details of which are as under:-

5.2 Nutritional Norms :- Revised vide letter No. 5-9/2005-ND-Tech Vol. II dated 24.2.2009

5.3 Type of Supplementary Nutrition :

Children in the age group 0 – 6 months : For Children in this age group, States/ UTs may ensure continuation of current guidelines of early initiation (within one hour of birth) and exclusive breast-feeding for children for the first 6 months of life.

Children in the age group 6 months to 3 years : For children in this age group, the existing pattern of Take Home Ration (THR) under the ICDS Scheme will continue. However, in addition to the current mixed practice of giving either dry or raw ration (wheat and rice) which is often consumed by the entire family and not the child alone, THR should be given in the form that is palatable to the child instead of the entire family.

Children in the age group 3 to 6 years : For the children in this age group, State/ UTs have been requested to make arrangements to serve Hot Cooked Meal in AWCs and mini-AWCs under the ICDS Scheme. Since the child of this age group is not capable of consuming a meal of 500 calories in one sitting, the States/ UTs are advised to consider serving more than one meal to the children who come to AWCs. Since the process of cooking and serving hot cooked meal takes time, and in most of the cases, the food is served around noon, States/ UTs may provide 500 calories over more than one meal. States/ UTs may arrange to provide a morning snack in the form of milk/banana/ egg/ seasonal fruits/ micronutrient fortified food etc.

6. Registration of beneficiaries: Since BPL is no longer a criteria under ICDS, States have to ensure registration of all eligible beneficiaries.

7. Expansion of the ICDs Scheme:

* State-wise no. of Projects/AWCs/Mini-AWCS sanctioned in 2008-09 under 3 rd phase of expansion of the Scheme available at ‘Data Table on ICDS’.

# Total number of AWCs Budgeted for is 14 lakh leaving a cushion for Anganwadi – on- Demand.

8.1 BUDGETARY ALLOCATION : Alongside gradual expansion of the Scheme, there has also been a significant increase in the Budgetary allocation for ICDS Scheme from Rs.10391.75 crore in 10 th Five Year Plan to Rs.44,400 crore in XI Plan Period.

The details of Budget Allocation and Expenditure for the year 2007-08 to 2009-10 in respect of ICDS (General) and supplementary nutrition are given as under:-

  • Budget Allocation

State-wise details of funds released are available under ‘Data Table on ICDS’ in Child Development portion.

9 . THE ICDS TEAM :

9.1 The ICDS team comprises the Anganwadi Workers, Anganwadi Helpers, Supervisors, Child Development Project Officers (CDPOs) and District Programme Officers (DPOs). Anganwadi Worker, a lady selected from the local community, is a community based frontline honorary worker of the ICDS Programme. She is also an agent of social change, mobilizing community support for better care of young children, girls and women.Besides, the medical officers, Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM) and Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) form a team with the ICDS functionaries to achieve convergence of different services.

9.2 Role & responsibilities of AWW, ANM and ASHA :

Role and responsibilities of AWW, ANM & ASHA have been clearly delineated and circulated to States/UTs under the joint signature of Secretary, MWCD and Secretary, MHFW, vide D.O. No. R. 14011/9/2005-NRHM –I (pt) dated 20 January 2006.

9.3 STATUS OF ANGANWADI WORKERS AND HELPERS :

Anganwadi Workers (AWWs) & Anganwadi Helpers (AWHs), being honorary workers, are paid a monthly honoraria as decided by the Government from time to time. Government of India has enhanced the honoraria of these Workers, w.e.f. 1.4.2008 by Rs.500 above the last honorarium drawn by Anganwadi Workers (AWWs) and by Rs.250 of the last honorarium drawn by Helpers of AWCs and Workers of Mini-AWCs . Prior to enhancement, AWWs were being paid a monthly honoraria ranging from Rs. 938/ to Rs. 1063/- per month depending on their educational qualifications and experience. Similarly, AWHs were being paid monthly honoraria of Rs. 500/-

In addition to the honoraria paid by the Government of India, many States/UTs are also giving monetary incentives to these workers out of their own resources for additional functions assigned under other Schemes.

9.4. FACILITIES/BENEFITS EXTENDED TO AWWs &AWHs :-

9.4.1 By the Govt. of India

  • Honorarium: At the beginning of the Scheme in 1975, the Anganwadi Worker was paid honorarium of Rs.100/- per month (Non-Matriculate) and Rs.150/- per month (Matriculate) and Helper was paid Rs.35/- per month. Govt. has increased their honorarium from time to time, as indicated below:

  • To set up Grievances Redressal Machinery at the State/UT and Districts level for prompt redressal of their grievances.

10. ICDS Training Programme:

Training and capacity building is the most crucial element in the ICDS Scheme, as the achievement of the programme goals largely depends upon the effectiveness of frontline workers in improving service delivery under the programme. Since inception of the ICDS scheme, the Government of India has formulated a comprehensive training strategy for the ICDS functionaries. Training under ICDS scheme is a continuous programme and is implemented through 35 States/UTs and National Institute of Public Cooperation and Child Development (NIPCCD) and its four regional centres. During the 11 th Five Year Plan, the Government of India has laid much emphasis on strengthening the training component of ICDS in order to improve the service delivery mechanism and accelerate better programme outcomes. An allocation of Rs. 500 crore has been kept for the ICDS Training Programme during the 11 th Five Year Plan. Financial norms relating to training of various ICDS functionaries and trainers have been revised upwardly with effect from 1 April 2009.

  • Types of Training Courses: Three types of regular training are imparted to AWWs, AWHs, Supervisors, CDPOs/ACDPOs and Instructors of AWTCs and MLTCs, viz.:
  • Induction Training ( on initial engagement/appointment ) mainly to AWWs
  • Job/Orientation Training ( once during service period )
  • Refresher Training ( in-service, once in every two years)

Also, specific need based training programmes are organized under the ‘Other Training’ component, whereby the States/UTs are given flexibility to identify state specific problems that need specialized issue based training and take up such training activities.

  • Training Infrastructure: There is a countrywide infrastructure for the training of ICDS functionaries, viz.
  • Anganwadi Workers Training Centres (AWTCs) for the training of Anganwadi Workers and Helpers.
  • Middle Level Training Centres (MLTCs) for the training of Supervisors and Trainers of AWTCs;
  • National Institute of Public Cooperation and Child Development (NIPCCD) and its Regional Centres for training of CDPOs/ACDPOs and Trainers of MLTCs. NIPCCD also conducts several skill development training programmes.

[Govt. of Tamil Nadu has established a State Training Institute (STI) at the State level for the training of Trainers of MLTCs and CDPOs/ACDPOs] Based on the needs, State Governments identify and open up AWTCs and MLTCs after due approval by the Government of India. As on 31.3.2009, 490 AWTCs and 31 MLTCs were operational across the country.About 80% of the AWTCs and 70% MLTCs are run by State/District based NGOs.

  • Physical and financial progress are captured through Quarterly Progress Reports (QPRs) in a standardized format, that are submitted by the States/UTs to GoI at the end of every quarter;
  • A detailed analysis of the QPRs is carried out by the ICDS Training Unit and based on the same, quarterly review meetings are organized with the States at the central level;
  • Monthly/quarterly review meeting with the Training Centres at the state level;
  • Necessary feedback and guidelines are issued to the States after each of the review meetings;
  • Field visits to AWTCs/MLTCs by Nodal Officer or the District Programme Officers (DPOs)/CDPOs; and also by the officials from the Ministry of WCD and NIPCCD.
  • Annual meeting of State Training Task Force (STTF) for the approval of STRAP and review of past performance and chalking out future actions.

10.4 Recent Initiatives: The Ministry has recently initiated a process of consultations with the States and other stakeholders to review and identify gaps in the existing training system and make suggestions to strengthen the ICDS Training programme including its contents/syllabi, training methodology and the existing monitoring mechanism under ICDS training programme. Three regional workshops have since been organized in collaboration with NIPCCD and with technical support from USAID/CARE INDIA during July-August 2009 at three Regional centres of NIPCCD at Bangalore, Lucknow and Guwahati.

11. Existing Monitoring System under ICDS Scheme:

Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD) has the overall responsibility of monitoring the ICDS scheme. There exists a Central Level ICDS Monitoring Unit in the Ministry which is responsible for collection and analysis of the periodic work reports received from the States in the prescribed formats. States have been asked to send the State level consolidated reports by 17 th day of the following month. The existing status of monitoring of these six services is as under :

(i) Supplementary Nutrition : No. of Beneficiaries (Children 6 months to 6 years and pregnant & lactating mothers) for supplementary nutrition;

(ii) Pre-School Education : No. of Beneficiaries (Children 3-6 years) attending pre-school education;

(iii) Immunization, Health Check-up and Referral services : Ministry of Health and Family Welfare is responsible for monitoring on health indicators relating to immunization, health check-up and referrals services under the Scheme.

(iv) Nutrition and Health Education : This service is not monitored at the Central Level. State Governments are required to monitor up to State level in the existing MIS System.

(v) No. of ICDS Projects and Anganwadi Centres (AWCs) w.r.t. targeted no. of ICDS Projects and AWCs are taken into account for review purpose.

Analysis & Action The information received in the prescribed formats is compiled, processed and analysed at the Central level on quarterly basis. The progress and shortfalls indicated in the reports on ICDS are reviewed by the Ministry with the State Governments regularly by review meetings/letters.

11.2 State Level

Various quantitative inputs captured through CDPO’s MPR/HPR are compiled at the State level for all Projects in the State. No technical staff has been sanctioned for the state for programme monitoring. CDPO’s MPR capture information on number of beneficiaries for supplementary nutrition, pre-school education, field visit to AWCs by ICDS functionaries like Supervisors, CDPO/ ACDPO etc., information on number of meeting on nutrition and health education (NHED) and vacancy position of ICDS functionaries etc.

11.3 Block Level

At block level, Child Development Project Officer (CDPO) is the in-charge of an ICDS Project. CDPO’s MPR and HPR have been prescribed at block level,. These CDPO’s MPR/ HPR formats have one-to-one correspondence with AWW’s MPR/ HPR. CDPO’s MPR consists vacancy position of ICDS functionaries at block and AWC levels. At block level, no technical post of officials have been sanctioned under the scheme for monitoring. However, one post of statistical Assistant./ Assistant is sanctioned at block level to consolidate the MPR/ HPR data. In between CDPO and AWW, there exist a supervisor who is required to supervise 25 AWC on an average. CDPO is required to send the Monthly Progress Report (MPR) by 7 th day of the following month to State Government. Similarly, CDPO is required to send Half-yearly Progress Report (HPR) to State by 7 th April and 7 th October every year.

11.4 Village Level (Anganwadi Level)

At the grass-root level, delivery of various services to target groups is given at the Anganwadi Centre (AWC). An AWC is managed by an honorary Anganwadi Worker (AWW) and an honorary Anganwadi Helper (AWH). In the existing Management Information System, records and registers are prescribed at the Anganwadi level i.e. at village level. The Monthly and Half-yearly Progress Reports of Anganwadi Worker have also been prescribed. The monthly progress report of AWW capture information on population details, births and deaths of children, maternal deaths, no. of children attended AWC for supplementary nutrition and pre-school education, nutritional status of children by weight for age, information on nutrition and health education and home visits by AWW. Similarly, AWW’s Half yearly Progress Report capture data on literacy standard of AWW, training details of AWW, increase/ decrease in weight of children, details on space for storing ration at AWC, availability of health cards, availability of registers, availability of growth charts etc. AWW is required to send these Monthly Progress Report (MPR) by 5 th day of following month to CDPO’ In-charge of an ICDS Project. Similarly, AWW is required to send Half-yearly Progress Report (HPR) to CDPO by 5 th April and 5 th October every year.

Note : Details of various circulars/ orders on monitoring/ MIS issued from GOI and existing Management Information System (MIS) on ICDS are given at ‘Child Development’ portion of the web-site of the Ministry viz. www.wcd.nic.in

  • Most of the AWCs across the country were located within accessible distance (100-200 meters) from beneficiary households. A majority of the beneficiary households was within 100 metres of the AWC. Another 10 per cent were about 150-200 meters away. The rest were beyond 200 meters. Thus, the factor of distance of beneficiary households from the AWC was unlikely to affect attendance at the AWC during inclement weather;
  • Most of the AWCs in the country, except those in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and Orissa were functioning from community buildings. The type of building plays an important role in safeguarding against any natural hazards. Of those sampled, about 40 per cent were functioning from pucca buildings.
  • Nearly 50 per cent AWCs reported adequate space, especially for cooking.
  • One out of two AWWs was found to be educated at least up to matriculate level across the country. In all central and southern states, less than 50 per cent of the AWWs were ‘at least matriculate’; more than 75 per cent of AWWs were matriculates in the northern and eastern states of the country. Gujarat and Rajasthan reported lowest percentage of matriculate functionaries.
  • Though about 84 per cent of the functionaries reported to have received training, the training was largely pre-service training. In-service training remained largely neglected.
  • The day to day functioning of the AWC is a critical indicator of the effectiveness of the ICDS programme. An assessment of on-going activities of sample AWCs through observations, record reviews and personal interviews with the AWWs revealed that, on average, an AWC functioned for 24 of 30 days in a month. On a given day, the AWC functioned for about 4 hours. By and large, environmental factors did not affect the functioning of the AWC.
  • On an average nearly 66 per cent of eligible children and 75 per cent of eligible women were registered at the AWCs. This indicates lack of motivation on the part of the AWW in identifying and registering the entire eligible population.
  • Community leaders were generally positive about the functioning of the AWCs (more than 80 per cent in all states) while more than 70 per cent found the programme to be beneficial to the community;
  • Participation of beneficiary women and adolescent girls in AWC activities was reported to be low. These two segments of population form the foundation for any child care programme and their involvement is imperative for successful implementation of the ICDS Services.
  • More than 40 per cent AWCs (Anganwadi Centres) across the country are neither housed in ICDS building nor in rented buildings. One-third of the Anganwadis are housed in ICDS building and another one-fourth are housed in rented buildings;
  • As regards the status of Anganwadi building, irrespective of own or rented, more than 46 per cent of the Anganwadis were running from pucca building, 21 per cent from semi-pucca building, 15 per cent from kutcha building and more than 9% running from open space;
  • It is quite encouraging to observe that average number of children registered at the Anganwadi centre is 52 for boys and 75 for girls;
  • The survey data reveal that more than 45 per cent Anganwadis have no toilet facility and 40 per cent have reported the availability of only urinal;
  • Of the 39 per cent Anganwadis reporting availability of handpumps, half of the handpumps were provided by the Gram Panchayat and 12 per cent provided by the ICDS;
  • Regarding the provision of services at the Anganwadi centres, more than 90 per cent Centres provided supplementary food, 90 per cent provided pre-school education and 76 per cent weighed children for growth monitoring;
  • Only 50 per cent Anganwadis reported providing referral services, 65 per cent health check-up of children, 53 per cent for health check-up of women and more than 75 for nutrition and health education;
  • Average number of days in a month in which services are provided at the Anganwadi centres are 24 for supplementary food, 28 for pre-school education and 13 for Nutrition and health education;
  • More than 57 per cent of Anganwadi centres reported availability of ready-to-eat food and 46 per cent availability of uncooked food at the Anganwadi centres;
  • Nearly three-fourth of the Anganwadis have reported the availability of medical kits and baby weighing scale. On the other hand adult weighing scale has been reported only by 49 per cent of the Anganwadis.

Three Decades of ICDS – An appraisal by NIPCCD (2006) . The study covered 150 ICDS Projects from 35 States/UTs covering rural, urban and tribal projects. A total of five Anganwadi centres (AWCs) were randomly selected from each sample projects covering 750 AWCs. The main findings of the appraisal is as under:

i) Around 59 per cent AWCs studied have no toilet facility and in 17 AWCs this facility was found to be unsatisfactory. ii) Around 75% of AWCs have pucca buildings; iii) 44 per cent AWCs covered under the study were found to be lacking PSE kits; iv) Disruption of supplementary nutrition was noticed on an average of 46.31 days at Anganwadi level. Major reasons causing disruption was reported as delay in supply of items of supplementary nutrition; v) 36.5 per cent mothers did not report weighing of new born children; vi) 29 per cent children were born with a low weight which was below normal (less than 2500 gm); vii) 37 per cent AWWs reported non-availability of materials/aids for Nutrition and Health Education (NHED).

13. Wheat Based Nutrition Programme (WBNP) The Government of India allocates food grains (wheat and rice) at BPL rates to the States, on their demand, for meeting their requirement for supplementary nutrition to beneficiaries under the ICDS Scheme. Total quantity of food grains allotted during last 3 years is as under:-

  • 2006-07 523095 MTs
  • 2008-09 716745 MTs

Presently, 23 States are availing the allocation of wheat/rice under the WBNP.

4. INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS

  • United Nations International Children’ Emergency Fund (UNICEF)
  • Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere (CARE)
  • World Food Programme (WFP)

UNICEF supports the ICDS by providing technical support for the development of training plans, organizing of regional workshops and dissemination of best practices of ICDS. It also assists in service delivery and accreditation system where the capacity of ICDS functionary is strengthened. Impact assessment in selected States on early childhood nutrition and development, micro-nutrient and anemia control through Vit. ‘A’ supplementations and deworming interventions for children in the age group of 9-59 months is also conducted by UNICEF from time to time.

CARE is primarily implementing some non-food projects in areas of maternal and child health, girl primary education, micro-credit etc. Integrated Nutrition and Health Project (INHP)-III, which is a phaseout programme of INHP series would come to an end on 31.12.2009.

WFP has been extending assistance to enhance the effectiveness and outreach of the ICDS Scheme in selected districts (Tikamgarh & Chhattarpur in Madhya Pradesh, Koraput, Malkangir & Nabrangpur in Orissa, Banswara in Rajasthan and Dantewada in Chhattisgarh), notably, by assisting the State Governments to start and expand production of low cost micronutrient fortified food known as ‘Indiamix’. Under this the concerned State Government are required to contribute to the cost of Indiamix by matching the WFP wheat contribution at a 1:1 cost sharing ratio.

15. Special Focus on North East : Keeping in view the special needs of North Eastern States, the Central Government sanctioned construction of 4800 Anganwadi Centres at a cost of Rs.60 crore in 2001-02, 7600 Anganwadi Centres at a cost of Rs.95.00 crore in 2002-03 and 7600 AWCs at a cost of Rs.95.00 crore in 2004-05. In the wake of expansion of ICDS Scheme in 2005-06, it was provided in the Scheme itself that GOI will support construction of AWCs in NE States. The cost of construction was also revised from Rs.1.25 lakh per centre to Rs.1.75 lakh per center. In 2006-07, 50% of funds have been released to all the NE States except the State of Manipur.

16. Recent Initiatives

The World Health Organization (WHO) based on the results of an intensive study initiated in 1997 in six countries including India has developed New International Standards for assessing the physical growth, nutritional status and motor development of children from birth to 5 years age. The Ministry of Women and Child Development and Ministry of Health have adopted the New WHO Child Growth Standard in India on 15 th of August, 2008 for monitoring the Growth of Children through ICDS and NRHM.

Implications - Change in current estimates - increase in total of normal weight children - increase in severely underweight children - increase in underweight children (mild/moderate and severe) in age group of 0-6 months.

  • The requirement of funds for SNP; Centre and State contribution would be almost double.
  • The Anganwadi Worker with the help of New Growth Chart would be able to assess correctly severely underweight children and number of such children would increase in each Anganwadi Centres. The number of normal children would also increase in all the Anganwadi Centres.
  • The new charts would now help us in comparing growth of our children within projects, districts, states & also other countries.

18. Achievements: There has been significant progress in the implementation of ICDS Scheme during X Plan both and during XI Plan (up to 31.12.2010), in terms of increase in number of operational projects and Anganwadi Centres (AWCs) and coverage of beneficiaries as indicated below:-

INTEGRATED CHILD DEVELOPMENT SERVICES (ICDS) SCHEME

* National Coordinator (Survey, Evaluation and Research), Central Technical Committee-ICDS, New Delhi

+ Consultant, (Survey, Evaluation and Research), Central Technical Committee-ICDS, New Delhi

Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme is world's largest community based programme. The scheme is targeted at children upto the age of 6 years, pregnant and lactating mothers and women 16–44 years of age. The scheme is aimed to improve the health, nutrition and education (KAP) of the target community. Launched on 2 October 1975, the scheme has completed 25 years of its operational age. The article describes in brief, the organisation, achievements and drawbacks of this national programme. It also suggests various thrust areas for its betterment and further improvement.

Introduction

Paediatric malnutrition has always been a matter of national concern. The various vertical health programmes initiated by the Government of India (GOI) from time to time did not reach out to the target community adequately. In 1974, India adopted a well-defined national policy for children. In pursuance of this policy it was decided to start a holistic multicentric programme with a compact package of services. The decision led to the formulation of Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme – one of the most prestigious and premier national human resource development programmes of the GOI.

The scheme was launched on 2 October 1975 in 33 (4 rural, 18 urban, 11 tribal) blocks. Over the last 25 years, it was expanded progressively and at present it has 5614 (central 5103, state 511) projects covering over 5300 community development blocks and 300 urban slums; over 60 million children below the age of 6 years and over 10 million women between 16 and 44 years of age and 2 million lactating mothers [ 1 ]. The total population under ICDS coverage is 70 million, which is approximately 7 percent of the total population of one billion.

The main thrust of the scheme is on the villages where over 75 percent of the population lives. Urban slums are also a priority area of the programme.

The main objectives of the scheme are [ 2 ]:

  • i) Improvement in the health and nutritional status of children 0–6 years and pregnant and lactating mothers.
  • ii) Reduction in the incidence of their mortality and school drop out
  • iii) Provision of a firm foundation for proper psychological, physical and social development of the child.
  • iv) Enhancement of the maternal education and capacity to look after her own health and nutrition and that of her family
  • v) Effective co-ordination of the policy and implementation among various departments and programmes aimed to promote child development.

Beneficiaries

The beneficiaries are:

  • i) Children 0–6 years of age
  • ii) Pregnant and lactating mothers
  • iii) Women 15–44 year of age
  • iv) Since 1991 adolescent girls upto the age of 18 years for non formal education and training on health and nutrition.

The programme provides a package of services facilities [ 3 ] like:

  • i) Complementary nutrition
  • ii) Vitamin A
  • iii) Iron and folic acid tablets
  • iv) Immunization
  • v) Health check up
  • vi) Treatment of minor ailments
  • vii) Referral services
  • viii) Non-formal education on health and nutrition to women
  • ix) Preschool education to children 3–6 year old and
  • x) Convergence of other supportive services like water, sanitation etc.

The services arc extended to the target community at a focal point ‘Anganwadi’ (AWC) located within an easy and convenient reach of the community. AWC is managed by an honorary female worker ‘Anganwadi Worker'(AWW). who is the key community level functionary. She is a specially selected and trained woman from the local community, educated upto high school. She undergoes 3 months training in child development, immunization, personal hygiene, environmental sanitation, breastfeeding. ante-natal care, treatment of minor ailments and recognition of ‘at risk’ children. She gets a small honorarium as an incentive. The presence of AWW in the community has a synergistic effect as she liaises between health functionaries and the community. Convergence with health helps achieve better maternal and child health, enhances awareness regarding family planning services, treatment of morbidity and reduction of mortality. AWC serves as a central point for immunisation, distribution of vitamin A, iron and folic acid tablets and treatment of minor ailments and first aid. AWC is also the venue for health related activities carried out by auxiliary nurse-midwives (ANM). Each AWC looks after a population of approximately 1000 in rural and urban areas and 700 in tribal areas. Presently on an average there is 125–150 AWCs per project/block [ 4 ].

Complementary Nutrition

6 months to 6 year old children, pregnant and lactating mothers belonging to low income group families are entitled to avail the facility of CN for 300 days in a year. 300 calories and 8 to 10 g proteins are given to all children below 6 years including those with mild (grade 1 & II) malnutrition while pregnant (3 rd trimester) and lactating mothers (first 6 months of lactation) are given 600 calorics and 20 g proteins per day as CN. The type of food varies from state to state. Usually it consists of a hot meal cooked at AWC. It contains a combination of pulses, cereals, oil, vegetables and sugar. Some AWCs provide a ‘ready-to-eat’ meal while some other agencies like CARE, World Food Programme (WFP) are implementing a ‘take-home’ strategy for 2–4 weeks at a time for children under 2 years and pregnant and lactating women. While the ‘take-home’ practice solves the problem of daily attendance and saves considerable time of the AWW, there is bound to be sharing of the food and the index beneficiary at best gets only a part of it. Food sharing strengthens the family bonds though it will delay recovery from malnutrition. Cooking and serving hot meal at AWC, on the other hand, provides a good opportunity to develop a close rapport with the local women and indulge in non-formal education on health and nutrition. This also provides a good opportunity for community mobilisation and participation, though it definitely adds to AWW's workload. A flexible approach to suit the local needs appears to be the answer. Improper storage facilities, poor quality and shortages of CN, erratic food supplies, bad communication, pilferage and other such logistic problems in certain states have been noticed and require corrective administrative measures.

Immunization

AWW helps organise fixed day immunization sessions. Primary Health Care Centre(PHC) and its infrastructure carry out the immunization of infants and expectant mothers as per the national schedule. AWW assists in the exercise; maintains records and follows up the recorded cases to ensure complete coverage. Her services are also being utilised for special drives and campaigns like pulse polio and family planning drive. Such activities, it has been seen, adversely affect her other duties and dilute her commitment to the ICDS programme.

Health Check Up and Referral Services

The health check up activity includes care of all children below 6 years, ante-natal care of pregnant women and post-natal care of lactating mothers. AWW and PHC staff work together and carry out regular check-up, body weight recording, immunization, management of malnutrition, treatment of diarrhoea, deworming and other minor ailments. At AWC, children, adolescent girls, pregnant women and lactating mothers are examined at regular intervals by the lady health visitor (LHV) and auxiliary nurse-mid-wife (ANM). Malnourished and sick children who cannot be managed by the ANW / AWW are provided referral services through ICDS. All such cases are listed by the AWW and referred to the medical officer.

Growth Monitoring Promotion (GMP)

It is an important tool to assess the impact of health and nutrition related services. Children below the age of 3 years are weighed once a month and those over 3 to 6 years are weighed every quarter. AWW usually uses the fixed day immunization sessions or ‘take-home’ ration collection days for growth monitoring activities. Growth is charted to detect growth delay or malnutrition, if any. This activity, unfortunately has not been very successful due to many reasons. Some of which are poor understanding of this activity by the AWW as well as the mother, erratic method of weight taking; non availability of weighing machine/growth charts; lack of knowledge about weight recording and paucity of time at the disposal of AWW. It is to be appreciated that this activity needs a great deal of time, training, supervision and support. Unless these are forthcoming, it becomes just a wasteful time consuming ritual [ 5 , 6 ].

Nonformal and Preschool Education

Nonformal nutrition and health education given by the AWW is aimed at empowerment of women in the age roup of 15–44 year to enable them to look after their own health and nutrition needs as well as that of their children and families. The education is imparted through participatory sessions at AWC, home visits and small group discussions. Basic health and nutrition messages related to child care, infant feeding practices, utilisation of health series, personal hygiene, environmental sanitation and family planning are usual components covered by AWW.

Early childhood care and preschool education is yet another important activity of ICDS programme. This focuses on the total development of the child upto 6 years. It also promotes early stimulation of younger children (< 3 year) through intervention with mothers. At this tender age, mother is the best teacher. In 1991, school dropout and other adolescent girls in the age group of 11–18 year have also been included in the ICDS orbit for health and nutrition education, literacy, recreation and skill formation. At present this scheme is available in 507 projects only. Preschool education has contributed a great deal in child development. It encourages school enrolment and retention. It also helps ICDS beneficiary children achieve higher psychosocial development. This was abundantly clear in two separate studies conducted by Central Technical Committee (CTC)-ICDS [ 7 ]. In the one carried out by the National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) in 1993 in Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, under supervision of CTC-ICDS, a revealing observation was that higher psychosocial development benefit was more applicable to the younger age group (36–47 months) than the older group (48–72 months). Both the groups, though had far better score than the non-ICDS group. On the basis of this very significant observation, the possibility of introducing an age specific curriculum needs to be explored.

Presently, preschool education in ICDS is aimed at 3–6 year age group. The younger children are educated through their mothers. Non-formal education for mothers is an attempt to improve upon their KAP. It has been argued that as intellectual development gets established by 3 1/2 to 4 years, some sort of direct education could be imparted to 2–3 year old children at AWC. This needs a detailed discussion in view of already over burdened AWW's present commitments and several child psychologists opinion against group teaching at very young and tender age.

Central Technical Committee (CTC)-ICDs

A Central Technical Committee (CTC) on health and nutrition was constituted on 30 June 1976 by the then Ministry of Social Welfare, Government of India to provide technical and scientific assistance to the department of Women and Child Development. A central cell was established at New Delhi:

  • i) To assist the health departments in monitoring the health and nutrition of ICDS.
  • ii) Monitor the motivational and continuing education activities of the ICDS
  • iii) Evaluate the flow and availability of services and their impact on ICDS beneficiaries by undertaking annual surveys and research studies.
  • iv) Conduct orientation and training courses for medical officers and health functionaries of ICDS.

The monitoring developed by the CTC encourages interaction of functionaries at different levels to ensure smooth programme implementation. An effective uniform syllabus for various categories of functionaries has been prepared by the CTC in consultation with experts. The training curriculum is aimed to provide a comprehensive training package which is flexible enough to meet the local needs. Besides the training schedules conducted by the CTC-ICDS, on the job training is also imparted to the supervisors and Child Development Project Officers (CDPO).

This training, regrettably, is disproportionately tilted towards record maintaining instead of quality assessment, support and education [ 8 ].

Survey, Evaluation & Research

ICDS is the only national programme which has a built-in “External Investigative” survey, evaluation and research component from its very inception. The senior faculty members from the departments of preventive and social medicine (PSM) and paediatrics of various medical colleges and institutions form the core of the component. They are designated as ‘ICDS honorary consultants’. Presently, they are over 190. Their contribution is extremely cost effective and observation unbiased and objective. The evaluation is done in the form of multicenter annual surveys or unicenter research projects. In 1993, research activities were further strengthened and 4 regions (Western, Eastern, Southern, and Northern) were identified. Till today 24 annual surveys and a large number of multicentric and unicentric research studies have been conducted from time to time. The results of these studies were published in a book form in 1995. This document contains a lot of original data and makes an excellent reference book [ 7 ]. The studies confirm that on the whole the programme has done exceedingly well. The nutritional status of ICDS children, their immunization, vitamin A and iron and folic acid coverage have improved and are better than those of the non-ICDS children. The services coverage among women in ICDS areas is again far better than that in non-ICDS areas. Their KAP about health and nutrition is also better. The programme performance however is not uniform. There are areas where ICDS progress is slow and in some other a ‘plateau’ effect is noticeable after the initial elevation.

This is explained by the vast size of the country with several variables like local customs, whims and fancies, poor community mobilisation and participation, inadequate logistic support, irregular supply position, discrepancies between sanctioned and positioned staff, indifferent and casual attitudes of AWWs and other ICDS functionaries, inequitable workload distribution, inappropriate time budgeting and erroneous understanding of the priorities of ICDS service components. Many other workers in the field have also spelt out weakness and lacunae in the programme [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. Urgent corrective strategy requires to be worked out to further strengthen the programme. Some of the thrust areas for further research and innovative approaches are mentioned below.

Recommended Thrust Areas

Complementary nutrition (cn) [ 7 ].

The benefit of the CN is seen to be limited in very young children aged 1/2 to 2 years. Their attendance at AWC and intake of CN are poor. Innovative approach is needed to draw them to the AWC. The young children probably need a special treatment regarding CN and better sensitization to health and nutrition education. Physiologically, in early childhood there are marked differences in food intake. Therefore, specific attention is required to be focused on narrow age groups to work out requirement and variety of CN e.g. nutritional needs and intake are different in 4 to 6 months; 7 to 12 months and over 12 months old children. We personally believe that 4 to 6 months is the optimal age to introduce CN. However, there are many pediatricians who recommend exclusive breast-feeding for the first 6 months. This controversy requires more information to formulate a definite policy. We also need a firm policy regarding introduction of CN in low birth weight children. CN as designed presently must be wholesome, nutritionally and culturally acceptable with adequate micronutrients. This requires special care in small children 1/2 to 1 year of age as home foods are difficult to be consumed in large quantities by them. The timing of CN should be such as not to affect the breast milk intake. Hence probably the best time for the small children is to give it in between feeds. We prefer serving hot meal at the AWC. All the same there is no quarrel if ‘carry home’ dry rations or precooked packets are supplied to small children and pregnant and lactating women. Perhaps a controlled study could be done in some areas. Considering the experience with iron and folic acid tablets, it perhaps will be best if CN is fortified with micronutrients. The micronutrients requirements, calorie and components of CN for LBW and normal children require redefining in view of our updated knowledge in this field. Many a time during community survey, mothers complain of poor appetite of their children. Recent observation that asymptomatic presence of microbes in the gut, urinary or respiratory tracts is associated with anorexia and lack of appetite resulting in progressive weight loss and malnutrition requires detailed looking in for appropriate corrective steps.

Growth Monitoring And Growth Faltering

This activity has not served the purpose for which it was initiated. The available tools for weight taking and length/height recording require proper standardisation and knowledge. AWW, ANM and other functionaries must receive more training and education in this respect in case this activity is to be continued. Linear growth measurement is as important as body weight in view of the recent observation that in some children, linear growth falters before they start losing weight.

Convergence and Coordination

Better convergence and coordination among various departments, NGOs and groups involved in mother and child development is required to avoid duplication and avoidable expenditure. CTC-ICDS had recommended use of fixed day immunization sessions for interaction between ICDS, health functionaries and the community. CARE and some other NGOs have encouraged the concept of observance of a special day in 10–15 days where community can actively participate and interact with ICDS and health personnel. Any approach, which facilitates convergence at all levels is welcome.

Community Participation

Despite all efforts, community participation has been substandard and far below expectation. To enhance this we recommend involvement of elders and the menfolk in the family, opinion makers in the community, women groups, adolescents, Swastha Sangathans, Mahila Mandals, Gram Panchayats etc. Their cooperation will indeed be very exciting and full of potentials for further community motivation, mobilisation and participation. Community involvement at planning stage may also prove useful and should be encouraged. AWW, the key player in ICDS, must have more time for community motivational visits and interaction at AWC. This is possible only if less time is spent in non-productive work.

Administrative Corrections

Better training to AWW and Mukhya Sevikas, more inputs, better supervision, rational and equitable workload distribution, better logistics and realistic community expectation will go a long way to make ICDS programme better. CTC-ICDS in their annual convention in 1977 had stressed at length the vulnerable areas in each state and proposed a number of corrective measures. These points have again been mentioned by Kapil and Tandon [ 3 ]. They deserve most serious consideration of the concerned authorities.

ICDS has been and is an excellent mother and child development programme. Its implementation has been good in most of the areas, outstanding in some, mediocre in other and poor in some other areas. Believing in overall outstanding performance rather than be content with small mercies in pockets of excellence we recommend an objective review and assessment of the ICDS and strengthening the weaker links. This paper is aimed towards that.

Vladimir Putin.

Nato supports Bosnia’s territorial integrity and is concerned by “malign foreign interference,” including by Russia , in the volatile Balkans region that went through a devastating war in the 1990s, Nato’s secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg , has said.

Sarajevo is the first stop on Stoltenberg’s tour of western Balkan countries that will also include Kosovo, Serbia and North Macedonia, the Associated Press reports.

“The Allies strongly support the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia-Herzegovina,” Stoltenberg told reporters. “We are concerned by the secessionist and divisive rhetoric as well as malign foreign interference, including Russia.”

There are widespread fears that Russia is trying to destabilise Bosnia and the rest of the region and shift at least some world attention from its war in Ukraine .

Jens Stoltenberg speaks during a joint press conference after a meeting in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Morning summary

The US secretary of defence, Lloyd Austin, arrived in Kyiv on Monday for a visit. “I’m here today to deliver an important message: the United States will continue to stand with Ukraine in their fight for freedom against Russia’s aggression, both now and into the future.”

Two people were killed early on Monday after Russian forces shelled a parking lot in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, authorities said. Regional prosecutors opened a war crimes investigation into the artillery strike, which occurred at about 9am (7am GMT) and injured one other person, the regional prosecutor’s office reported.

A Ukrainian soldier and a woman have died after a grenade exploded in a Kyiv apartment, police in the Ukrainian capital have said, but the cause of the blast, which injured a second man, was not immediately clear. Explosives technicians and investigators were working at the scene of Sunday’s explosion in the Dniprovskiy district, Kyiv police said in a statement.

The Ukrainian army said it had pushed back Russian forces “three to eight kilometres” from the banks of the Dnipro River, which if confirmed would be the first meaningful advance by Kyiv’s forces months into a disappointing counteroffensive . Ukrainian and Russian forces have been entrenched on opposite sides of the vast waterway in the southern Kherson region for more than a year, after Russia withdrew its troops from the western bank last November.

A Ukrainian teenager who was taken to Russia from the occupied city of Mariupol during the war and prevented from leaving earlier this year has returned to Ukraine . Bohdan Yermokhin, who turned 18 on Sunday, appealed to Zelenskiy this month to help bring him back to Ukraine. “I believed I would be in Ukraine, but not on this day,” Yermokhin told Reuters while eating at a petrol station after crossing the border.

About 3,000 mostly Ukrainian trucks, including those carrying fuel and humanitarian aid, were stuck on the Polish side of the border on Sunday due to a more than 10-day blockade by Polish truckers, Ukrainian authorities said . Polish truckers earlier this month blocked roads to three border crossings with Ukraine to protest against what they see as government inaction over a loss of business to foreign competitors since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Air defence units in Moscow intercepted a drone targeting the city late Sunday, mayor Sergei Sobyanin said . Sobyanin, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said units in the Elektrostal district in the capital’s east had intercepted the drone. No casualties or damage were initially reported. Air defences had also thwarted a drone attack on the Russian capital overnight to Sunday, authorities said earlier.

Russia launched 20 Iranian-made Shahed drones targeting Kyiv and the Cherkasy and Poltava regions overnight into Sunday, the Ukrainian military said, of which 15 were shot down . The overnight strikes on Kyiv were the second attack on the Ukrainian capital in 48 hours, said the city’s military administration spokesperson, Serhii Popko.

Five people including a three-year-old girl were injured in Russian artillery shelling of Kherson on Sunday morning, the Ukrainian interior minister, Ihor Klymenko , said . “All of them sustained shrapnel wounds. The child and the grandmother were walking in the yard. Enemy artillery hit them near the entrance,” Klymenko said on the Telegram messaging app.

The pro-war Russian nationalist Igor Girkin , who is in custody awaiting trial for inciting extremism, said he wanted to run for president even though he understood the March election would be a “sham” with the winner already clear . Girkin, who is also known by the alias Igor Strelkov, has repeatedly said Russia faces revolution and even civil war unless President Vladimir Putin’s military top brass fight the war in Ukraine more effectively. A former Federal Security Service (FSB) officer who helped Russia to annex Crimea in 2014 and then to organise pro-Russian militias in eastern Ukraine, Girkin said before his arrest that he and his supporters were entering politics.

The Kremlin, facing the prospect of a European Union ban on imports of Russian diamonds, said on Monday that EU sanctions tended to have a “boomerang effect” on those who applied them, Reuters reports.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov was commenting on a proposed EU ban on diamond imports from Russia as part of a new sanctions package against Moscow over the conflict in Ukraine .

Russia is the world’s biggest producer of rough diamonds by volume. Peskov told reporters such a move had been anticipated for a long time, but was likely to backfire.

“As a rule, it turns out that a boomerang effect is partially triggered: the interests of the Europeans themselves suffer. So far, we have been able to find ways to minimise the negative consequences of sanctions,” he said.

EU diplomatic sources said last week the proposal under discussion was to ban direct diamond imports from Russia from 1 January and from March to implement a traceability mechanism that would prevent imports of Russian gems processed in third countries.

The Kremlin said on Monday that president Vladimir Putin will set out Russia’s view of what it sees as the “deeply unstable world situation” when he addresses an upcoming virtual G20 summit.

Russian state TV presenter Pavel Zarubin said on his Telegram channel on Sunday that it would be the “first event in a long time” including both Putin and western leaders.

According to the state RIA news agency, the G20 virtual summit will be held on Wednesday.

The Kremlin said on Monday it regretted Finland’s decision to shut crossings on its border with Russia , saying it reflected Helsinki’s adoption of an anti-Russian stance, Reuters reports.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov , speaking at a regular news briefing, also rejected Finland’s accusation that Russia is deliberately pushing illegal migrants towards the border and said that Russian border guards were following all instructions.

Finland, a member of the European Union and – from this year – also of the Nato military alliance, closed four crossings on its border with Russia on Saturday as Helsinki seeks to halt a flow of asylum seekers it says was instigated by Moscow.

Two killed by Russian shelling in Kherson, Ukrainian authorities say

Reuters reports that two people were killed early on Monday after Russian forces shelled a parking lot in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, authorities said.

Regional prosecutors opened a war crimes investigation into the artillery strike, which occurred at about 9am (7am GMT) and injured one other person, the regional prosecutor’s office reported.

The Kherson governor, Oleksandr Prokudin, said the two dead were drivers for a private transport business.

Images posted on Telegram showed firefighters dousing cars that had been blasted apart, one day after a separate strike on the city wounded five people, including a three-year-old girl.

Russian forces have regularly shelled Kherson from across the Dnipro River since the regional capital was reoccupied by Ukrainian troops last November.

Ukraine said last week it had secured a foothold on the eastern bank of the Dnipro and that its troops were trying to push Russian forces further back.

US defence secretary visits Kyiv

The US secretary of defence, Lloyd Austin, arrived in Kyiv on Monday for a visit, he said on the X social media platform, Reuters reports.

“I’m here today to deliver an important message: the United States will continue to stand with Ukraine in their fight for freedom against Russia’s aggression, both now and into the future.”

The visit comes amid increasing division over Ukraine aid in the US legislature. A joint Ukraine-US military industry conference in Washington is due to take place next month.

That event, due to be held on 6-7 December, is intended to boost Ukraine’s domestic arms production as its fight against a full-scale Russian invasion nears the two-year mark.

Reuters reports that a Japanese delegation led by senior industry and foreign ministry officials and including business representatives is visiting Ukraine on Monday for talks ahead of a reconstruction conference that Japan will host, the industry ministry said.

Japan, which has been supporting Ukraine with funds and by accepting refugees since Russia invaded in February 2022, has also been promoting support for Ukraine at the level of the G7, which Japan chairs this year.

Kazuchika Iwata , the state minister of economy, trade and industry (METI), and the state minister for foreign affairs Kiyoto Tsuji , are visiting together with representatives of Japan companies, METI said in a statement.

In Kyiv, the delegation, which includes members of Keidanren, Japan’s biggest business lobby, in charge of a committee on Ukraine’s reconstruction, plans talks with the prime minister, Denys Shmyhal , government officials and companies.

Shmyhal said this month Ukraine would need budget support of about $42bn this year and next year to plug a massive deficit and aid reconstruction from the devastation caused by Russia’s invasion.

METI said the visit was an opportunity to hear about Ukraine’s needs and to discuss specific projects and accelerate public and private efforts to help.

The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy – who visited Japan in May during a G7 summit – and the Japanese prime minister, Fumio Kishida, agreed this month to hold a Japan-Ukraine Conference for promotion of Economic Reconstruction in Tokyo on 19 February.

Opening summary

Hello and welcome to the Guardian’s live coverage of the war in Ukraine .

A Ukrainian soldier and a woman have died after a grenade exploded in a Kyiv apartment, police in the Ukrainian capital have said, but the cause of the blast, which injured a second man, was not immediately clear.

Explosives technicians and investigators were working at the scene of Sunday’s explosion in the Dniprovskiy district, Kyiv police said in a statement.

“A citizen contacted the police with a report that an explosion rang out in a neighbouring apartment,” they added.

The news came as Volodymyr Zelenskiy dismissed the commander of the military’s medical forces , Maj Gen Tetiana Ostashchenko, and said “new priorities had been set” in the operations of Ukraine’s military after a meeting with the defence minister, Rustem Umerov.

“There is little time left to wait for results. Quick action is needed for forthcoming changes,” the Ukrainian president said in his evening video address.

In Russia, in the city of Elektrostal (Moscow region), during demonstrations, Rosgvardia soldiers began shooting at spectators with children from machine guns with blank cartridges.

So far, one injured child is known.

This was reported by the local Telegram channel of the Cheka-OGPU.

"Small children were clutching their heads screaming and falling to the ground. Not without injuries. The child received serious damage from a rebounded cartridge case," the report said.

One of the witnesses to the incident posted a video. It was her child who was shot by the Russian Guards. In the video, a child can be heard crying and screaming violently.

After the woman realized that her child had been wounded, she called her husband and doctor.

Meanwhile, Russian occupier Ivan Alekseev in the war in Ukraine after a drunken quarrel killed his colleague and tried to cover up the crime, saying it was the work of "Ukrainian saboteurs."

It is also interesting that Russia recently arranged a solemn farewell to Vladimir Shestakov, convicted for the murder of a child, who became a mercenary of PMC "Wagner" and was liquidated in the war in Ukraine.
