The ICDS program comprises of the child development services namely supplemental nutrition, preschool education, nutrition and health education, health checkup, referral services and vaccinations. These services are provided to identify beneficiaries through Anganwadi centers. The present research paper is called out from an empirical research carried out to study the impact of Anganwadi centers in the state of Punjab. The study was conducted in 24 Anganwadi centers in the state of Punjab. The broad spectrum of services provided under the ICDS program include nutrition, primary health facilities, immunization, pre-school education, referral and health awareness so as to ensure the overall well-being of target age groups of children, pregnant women and nursing mothers. The primary focus of scheme is on extending essential health and well-being services to the beneficiaries; Supplemental nutrition services impact both health and livelihoods of the family; preschool education is essential for effective socialization of the child, and referral services provide access to essential medical diagnosis and treatment.
