Mata Yasoda - Mobile Application for Anganwadi Centers (ICDS)

Mata Yashoda project aims to decrease malnutrition among 6 months to 6 years children of Sabarkantha district. Per 1000 population one Anganwadi Cenre (AWC) is established to nutrition and pre-school education to children. Study says in 50% of infant deaths malnutrition is indirect cause of death. One Anganwadi Worker (AWW) and one Tedaghar (cook) are posted to deliver services. In AWC apart from nutrition services and pre-school services AWW has to participate in various other activities like Meeting, Sabha, Krishi Rath and has to report all the services given by her.

Also monthly weight monitoring is done for each child and plotted on graph to track child’s nutritional status. She has to fill 11 (eleven) registers for services given by her. So AWW has to give most of time in reporting and other activates. So quality of service given by AWW has suffered. Mata Yashoda project has converged all these register in single mobile application. So AWW has to fill data once and reports are automatically generated by this software. So less time is consumed and AWW gets extra time for children.

Monitoring from taluka and district level has become very easy with single online real time Dashboard. Time spent on actual delivery of services is reduced due to cumbersome register maintenance. More than 11 registers are to be maintained by the AWW. This task is automated leading to increased time and energy to carry out ICDS services. The administration is able to get real time information for monitoring.
