Uttar Pradesh starved an old nutrition scheme to fund a new one. Neither is working -Menaka Rao

-Scroll.in

Possibly to woo voters, the state government started the Hausla Poshan Yojana last year that lasted only two months.

On a cold January morning in Ayadhnagar village in Uttar Pradesh’s Hapur district, a group of 10 children huddled around a bonfire outside their anganwadi centre. Despite the warmth of the fire, they shivered. The bare and dusty centre did not have mats for them to sit on and some of them were not wearing slippers.

Anganwadi centres function under Integrated Child Development Services, a four-decade-old government programme aimed at improving the nutritional and health status of children below the age of six.

Under the nationwide programme, children between 3-6 years get a hot cooked meal at the centre, while families are given take-home rations for children under the age of three. The programme also provides take-home rations to pregnant and lactating women.

In Uttar Pradesh, the hot cooked meal is usually khichdi or halwa. The children in Ayadhnagar would have relished it on this winter morning, but instead they were given a laddoo each and sent home by noon.
