Nandgaon, Rahata Block, Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, India, 25 July 2012:.A pregnant woman reacts after being immunized and counselled during a Village Health Nutrition Day ( VHND) at an ICDS center ( Aanganwadi). To combat undernutrition in young children, the Government of India relies largely on the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS). Begun in 1975, the scheme provides health and nutrition education for mothers of infants and young children, along with other services, such as supplementary nutrition, basic health and antenatal care, growth monitoring and promotion, preschool non-formal education, micronutrient supplementation and immunization. UNICEF is collaborating with the Government of India to increase the effectiveness of ICDS. UNICEF India/2012/Vishwanathan.
