2.  Assess the existing status of implementation of ICDS in terms of coverage, out reach, coordination, convergence, and innovations;  Study the differences in implementation in rural, urban tribal, NGO and WB projects;  Identify gaps and problems in the implementation of ICDS;  Find out the perception of community and local bodies and support extended by them;  Ascertain inter-linkages of ICDS with other development programmes; and  Assess the benefits of ICDS on selected outcome indicators OBJECTIVES

3. Universe: Sample was drawn only from blocks which were operational as on 01- 04- 2000 i.e. 4200 projects 3177 rural, 273 urban and 750 tribal). For the Study, 150 ICDS projects are selected as a sample i.e. roughly 4% of the total universe. Sample: 1st Stage=Stratified Sampling Technique to decide no. of projects statewise 2nd Stage= Stratified+Purposive ( Wherever, there was even one project of rural, urban & tribal category, purposively selected). Selection of Districts: - Districts with maximum number of projects selected * Selection of Projects: - Projects with maximum number of AWWs selected * Selection of AWC villages: - Randomly and at least from two Supervisory circles * Selection of Beneficiaries: - Randomly with the help of AWC’s record

Workshop of NIPCCD Faculty & Regional Coordinators Rigorous training to field staff Editing to detect errors & omissions in entries of the schedules Data revalidation at the time of entry & validation with the help of “Clipper” software Checked range/consistency of every coded response Manual checking of 10% entries New Concept Information System – a Delhi based professional agency has been engaged for Computerization and data analysis DATA QUALITY Computerization & Analysis
