Addressing the Anganwadi sta, Dr Navya emphasised that compared to other States in the
country, Andhra Pradesh provides high-quality nutrition to children, pregnant women and
lactating mothers through Anganwadi centres. She stressed the importance of ensuring that
all children, pregnant women and lactating mothers remain in good health and directed the
Anganwadi sta to work diligently toward this goal. She strictly instructed them to record
children’s height and weight accurately and enter the data into the Nutrition Tracker.
ICDS Project Director Nirmala highlighted that all Anganwadi sta in the district should
regularly measure children’s growth parameters and verify whether they are appropriate for
their age. She advised that any health concerns should be promptly reported to the local
health centres and necessary medical actions should be taken based on their
recommendations. She also instructed that nutritious food should be provided daily to
maintain children’s health and that proper health protocols should be followed every day.
