Thank you to @NITIAayog and @cgg_hyd for the opportunity to contribute to this important discussion! Our Founder Director @avani_kapur shared key priorities on what a second-generation reform agenda for ICDS could look like from a public finance & service delivery perspective.
NITI Aayog convened a high-level Roundtable on "Reimagining ICDS for the Future", chaired by Dr. M. Srinivas, Member, NITI Aayog. The Roundtable brought together Shri Anil Malik, Secretary, Ministry of Women and Child Development; senior officials from the Ministry; and experts from government, academia, international organisations, and civil society to deliberate on strengthening the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) to meet India's evolving needs. The discussions focused on transforming Anganwadi Centres into integrated hubs for early childhood development and women-led development, strengthening nutrition services, improving urban service delivery, empowering the frontline workforce, leveraging technology and convergence, and deepening community participation. The deliberations reaffirmed a shared commitment to building a future-ready ICDS that supports the vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047. #ICDS #EarlyChildhoodDevelopment @PMOIndia @narendramodi @Rao_InderjitS @MIB_India @PIB_India @DDNewslive @ashoklahiribjp
