Dept. approach for 12th Five year plan ICDS • First 1000 days of opportunity: Most under nutrition sets in the

first two years of life. (life cycle approach)• Strategy for ten critical interventions which can reduce under

nutrition• Understanding the importance of life cycle approach with focus

on adolescent girls• Early Childhood Education (ECE) as a key for more effective

operation of anganwadis building upon the experience of ‘Tapovan’ and other pilots.

• Communitisation of ICDS• Strengthening and convergence of all departments• Capacity building efforts – Trainings • A comprehensive IEC / BCC strategy for nutrition and health.• Focus on Urban areas

Women Wing• The Nari Gaurav Niti would be fully actualized by mainstreaming

gender and by development a robust institutional mechanism integrating all the departments to develop gender responsive budgeting (GRB), Gender Audit and creating gender focused programmes and schemes.

• The approach for the 12th 5 year plan would be as follows:• Expanding the resource base of women empowerment components

to reach out more number of beneficiaries• Creation a separate cadre for women development related

programmes at various levels• Increase the outreach of women focused programmes through

various initiatives such as referrals, Help lines, awareness and trainings

• Strengthen the technical support units such as Gender Resource Centre

• Constant monitoring and evaluation of the progress made to see whether that is contributing in achieving the Millennium Development Goals in general and women focused MDGs in particular as well as State targets for empowering women.

• These initiatives would help the State in achieving gender equity and equality resulting in balanced human development of the society. It would also help in convergence of the efforts of various departments for overall development of women.

12th Five year Plan - Sector wise Gap Analysis

Women Wing : Sector wise Gap Analysis

Counselling and Advisory Services to women through MPWWCs:• Need for a comprehensive review of ongoing scheme on whether it has been

successful in achieving its goals in changing needs of women and services provided by centers.

• Need to build research and development component in the centers

Social Security Assistance to widows• Large numbers of widows are still left out from the coverage.• Benefits not being given to APL widow. In absence of yearly BPL surveys many

women left out from getting benefits.• The amount given as a financial assistance is very less looking at the current

cost of living and this amount is not enough to cover the basic need such as food, clothing, health care etc.

• Although a special initiative for economic rehabilitation of widows of 18-40 years of age group has been initiated by the State Government, the trades being offered under the Scheme as livelihood options and sustainability of the income have not been reviewed/ studied/monitored regularly to establish the income viability.

• The awareness level of this scheme is also low and that leads to less no. of widows availing benefit of this scheme.


Social Protection• After the implementation of PWDVA 2005, very few victims of violence

use shelter facilities provided by the State due to duel access to the shelter home services to women who are in conflict with the law and those who are victims of violence.

• Due to the same, victims of violence do not opt for shelter homes as there is stigma attached to persons in conflict with the law. The distressed women do not prefer to stay with these women who have been booked under any act and they are afraid that this might tarnish their image in the society. This has become a very strong limiting factor as far as serving to victims of violence is concerned.

• If a victim of violence wants to stay in the shelter home she cannot bring her children (of more than 6 years of age) with her.

• Regarding the Working women Hostels in the State the existing number is too low compared to the increasing number women from rural and semi urban areas coming to towns for studies and employment.


Oversight Functions: • All the programmes of the Department have been monitored from the

State Headquarters. There is a need to create decentralized mechanism so that programme awareness, grievance redressal and monitoring conducted effectively.

• There is a need to create a post at the district level in the rank of Additional Collector to promote decentralized functioning.

Gender Mainstreaming• Need to relook at the achievements and gaps under Nari Gaurav Niti – the

State policy for gender equity. • Effective and timely monitoring of progress has been a major concern and

better mechanisms for monitoring of Niti is needed.• To carry out this gigantic task there is a need to create a specialized cadre

of staff in DWCD as well other concern Departments.• There is no separate budget provision in the Department for

mainstreaming gender.
