Abstract

 With the highest adolescent population in India, the real challenge for the nation is to provide nutrition, health and education in this segment, especially for girls, according to UNICEF report. The Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), a countrywide programme of the Government of India, offers a fundamental intervention for addressing the nutrition and health problems and promoting early childhood education among the disadvantaged population of the country. The ICDS programme successfully works through a network of over 946,000 village level anganwadi center (AWCs) setup at the community level across 5,959 development blocks and urban slums. Based on the consistent reports from recent journals and articles related to ICDS services and their functioning throughout the country, it has come to light the fact that 81.4% adolescent girls are unaware of the ICDS programme in the country. Among the remaining 18.6% adolescent girls, the services provided to them were inconsistent and incomplete as they were also unaware of the various services.Keeping this in mind the following project is based on the services being provided by the individual anganwadi services concerning to mainly the girls of adolescent age group (10yrs-19yrs).So we have undertaken this project to highlight the service utilization by adolescent girls at anganwadi centres of urban slums of Bellary city and also the factors influencing the service utilization by adolescent girls.
