Abstract

Recognizing that the children are the assets of the country and future manpower, the Government of India has launched a massive integrated child development program for the promotion of the health of the children and mother. The program was implemented on a project basis and the Anganwadi center is the key at the grass-root level to supplement nutrition, immunization, reduce infant mortality, health-checkup and referral health, nutrition education, pre-school education, etc, The center is manned by an Anganwadi worker. The qualification prescribed is 10 years of schooling. To perform the above task they were exposed to pre and In-service training programs. The functionary has to interact and expose to various sections of people at various levels. The effectiveness in discharging their functions largely lies in identifying the bottlenecks and overcoming them. The training that was given to them should expose them to the anticipated problems in discharging their duties and functions. The present study is conducted in this direction to identify the problems faced by the Anganwadi workers as felt by themselves and from supervisors’ point of view. The knowledge of the anticipated problems will form a base for formulating the training curriculum of the functionaries.
