Announcing the initiative, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma said the financial assistance is part of the state’s efforts to strengthen the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) network and boost the morale of frontline workers who play a crucial role in child nutrition and early education.


Highlighting ongoing welfare measures, the Chief Minister noted that children aged three to six years are being provided hot milk five days a week at Anganwadi centres under the Amrit Aahar Yojana. The scheme is aimed at improving nutritional intake among young children and addressing issues of malnutrition.


In addition to nutrition initiatives, the government is also focusing on upgrading infrastructure at Anganwadi centres across the state. Officials stated that many of these buildings are currently undergoing renovation to create safer and more child-friendly environments.


Further, as part of digital empowerment efforts, smartphones have been distributed to Anganwadi workers and women supervisors. This is expected to enhance monitoring, streamline data collection, and improve the overall efficiency of service delivery.


The Chief Minister emphasised that these combined efforts are intended to modernise Anganwadi services and ensure better outcomes in maternal and child health.


The initiative has been welcomed by workers and stakeholders, who believe that financial support, improved infrastructure, and digital tools will significantly enhance their ability to serve communities effectively.


With a large network of Anganwadi centres playing a vital role in rural and urban welfare, the measures are seen as a step toward strengthening the state’s social support system and improving the well-being of children and women in Rajasthan.
