Why it matters

The early childhood gap in Chhattisgarh

Despite ICDS operating since 1975, key early-childhood outcomes remain a serious concern across the state — the gap this programme is built to close.

Indicator Chhattisgarh National average
Children under 5 — stunted 37.6% 35.5%
Children under 5 — underweight 32.1% 32.1%
Children under 5 — wasted 19.9% 19.3%

Children under 5 — stunted 60.6% 70.3%
The Sanskrit quotation located on the bottom of the logo reads: things are achieved by doing, and not by desiring alone.
