Abstract

Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), which has been operating in the all districts of Punjab for decades. Nutrition and Health Education component of ICDS had been evaluated in the light of the objectives, to know the methods for imparting Nutrition and Health Education activities, to know on what basis Nutrition and Health Education was given and to identify the problems facing in organizing Health and Nutrition Education. For this study, all three ICDS projects; namely Barnala ICDS project, Sehna ICDS project and Mehal Kalan ICDS project were selected from Barnala district of Punjab. A total of 30 Anganwadis (10 from each ICDS project) were selected on the basis of random. It was also found that 43.33% of the AWWs considered lack of interest among women as main problem to organize NHED session. It was shocking to note that a high majority (80%) AWWs did not receive any help and guidance from supervisor to organize NHED during this period. It is also disappointing to find that a high majority (86.67%) of the beneficiary women did not regularly attend NHED session
