Major Gaps • l l l l Due to lack of awareness there is demand deficit. Inflation makes SNP production financially unviable. Mismatch of decentralization with micro nutrient fortification and local production requirement with sanitation and mechanized production. Lack of awareness and community participation in growth monitoring Malnutrition still not visualized as a fatal disease hampering growth & development. Education levels of AWWs. Movement of children to private schools. In urban AWCs lack of sufficient place for conducting PSE. Low rental and shortage of maintenance funds.

Interventions • • • State Nutrition Plan of Action is being developed. SNP Quality control is being done at the State, District and Project level. Focused IEC campaign for awareness generation among the community Sensitization of PRI members for community based monitoring. Cluster/ federation models are being tried out to meet out to overcome the existing problems in decentralised process of procurement of SNP. Growth monitoring in a campaign mode.

Support expected from Go. I (2012 -13) l l l l l Budget of Rs. 385 crore (@3. 5 lac per AWC) for construction of 11000 AWC buildings. Following is proposed: – 90% cost to be shared by Go. I. – Provision of construction of AWC building under NREGEA. – Dovetailing with BRGF scheme for construction of AWCs. Present rate of raw material of SNP is about 30% more than the prevailing norms of Go. I. The additional burden has to be born by the State. This may be shared by Go. I by 50%. Norms may be revised keeping in view changing consumer index. Additional human resource at the State level to strengthen the monitoring mechanism. Additional worker for conducting Pre-school education. Mobile AWCs for hard to reach and scattered area. Eradication of malnutrition in a mission mode. Upscaling SABLA and IGMSY.
