Integrated Child Development Services(ICDS) is a programme which provides food, preschool education, and primary healthcareto children under 6 years of age and their mothers.
The scheme was however launched in 1975 but Morarji Desai Government discontinued it in 1978 but however from Tenth five year plan the central government started focussing more on its objective and relaunched it.
Tenth five year plan also linked ICDS to Anganwadi centres established mainly in rural areas and staffed with frontline workers.
In addition to fighting malnutrition and ill health, the programme is also intended to combat gender inequality by providing girls the same resources as boys.
A 2005 study found that the ICDS programme was not particularly effective in reducing malnutrition, largely because of implementation problems and because the poorest states had received the least coverage and funding. During the 2012–13 fiscal year, the Indian central government spent ₹159 billion (US$2.4 billion) on the programme.
The widespread network of ICDS has an important role in combating malnutrition especially for children of weaker groups.
