Examining who the beneficiaries are of the Integrated Child Development Services programme, an aspect that has been neglected, this paper presents econometric estimates regarding the relative strength of personal and household circumstances in determining the likelihood of utilising the programme's services. These estimates suggest that inter-group differences in utilisation rates have less to do with characteristics and much more to do with group identity. The paper also suggests a trade-off between quality and utilisation by hypothesising that the poor quality of services leads upper-caste mothers to exit the ICDS market and seek these services elsewhere.

Vani K Borooah (vk.borooah@ulster.ac.uk) is at the University of Ulster, Northern Ireland; Dilip Diwakar (Dilip@dalitstudies.org.in) and Nidhi Sadana Sabharwal (Nidhi@dalitstudies.org.in) are at the Indian Institute of Dalit Studies, New Delhi.

The data used in this paper is from the Indian Human Development Survey 2005, available from the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research. We are grateful to an anonymous referee for comments on this paper, though we are entirely responsible for its shortcomings.
