AbstractThe ‘Integrated Child Development Services’ (ICDS) Scheme is a Centrally sponsored scheme meant for delivery of health services, nutrition and education to expectant and lactating mothers, adolescent girls and children in the age group of 0-6 years. The implementation of the scheme in Rajasthan suffered from several deficiencies such as, underutilisation of funds, non-creation of required infrastructure and large scale vacancies of ICDS functionaries. Besides, nutritional support could not be provided to large number of identified beneficiaries. Main audit findings are given below: 1. Against the original budget provision of Rs 1,641.74 crore for the period 2003-08, savings amounted to Rs 238.31 crore. The saving ranged upto to 30 per cent. A sum of Rs 1.15 crore was lying unutilised in Personal Deposit account for two years. 2. Due to delay in responding to Government of India proposal, State Government could not avail Central assistance of Rs 0.94 crore for construction of 100 Anganwadi Center buildings. 3. The benefit of supplementary nutrition was extended to 40 to 42 per cent children in tribal areas and only 29 to 35 per cent children in other rural areas. 4. The State Level Co-ordination Committee for monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the scheme though constituted, no meetings were held since October 2002. Three out of seven districts test checked did not have any District Level Co-ordination Committee to monitor the ICDS activities.
