Anganwadi Services Scheme (ASS) under umbrella ICDS is a unique early childhood
development programme which aims at addressing health, nutrition and developmental needs of children
below six years, pregnant women, nursing mothers and adolescent girls. Over four decades of its
implementation, Anganwadi Services Scheme have expanded its reach to cover almost all habitations
across the country through 14 lakh AWCs approved by Ministry of Women and Child Development
(MWCD), GOI. The scheme has accorded highest priority to reduce malnutrition, morbidity, mortality
and lay foundation for all round development of children. Moreover, early years being the periods of
rapid growth & development and also of greatest vulnerabilities, the Anganwadi Services Scheme has
the potential to break an intergenerational cycle of under nutrition as well as address the multiple
disadvantages faced by women and children with adequate investment and enabling environment. In this
respect, the Scheme has been designed to promote holistic development through strengthening the
capacity of caregivers, communities and improved access to essential services at AWC level.
2. Over the years, Anganwadi Services Scheme under Umbrella ICDS has witnessed several
changes with regard to modalities of service delivery, convergence mechanisms, civil society
participation, increased duration of service hours, availability of infrastructure and facilities,
introduction of various programmatic interventions to enhance quality services, ICT enabled monitoring
systems at all levels, scaling up of innovations and best practices by Central and States/UTs as well as to
attain child related developmental outcome which have the potentials of being replicated etc. The
Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD) has targeted various interventions such as
POSHAN Abhiyan, Pradhan Mantri MatruVandanaYojana (PMMVY), Rapid Reporting Systems (RRS)
under new MIS, Capacity Building of Anganwadi Services functionaries through e –learning and
Incremental Learning Approach (ILA), rolling out of Early Childhood Care & Education (ECCE) etc.,
for tracking of nutrition and child development related outcomes. All these aspects of programme
implementation require extensive training of Anganwadi Services functionaries in general and AWWs in
particular. The importance of training and capacity building of Anganwadi Services functionaries has
always been recognized as vital for the success of the programme.
3. National Institute of Public Cooperation and Child Development (NIPCCD) is an apex
Institution under the aegis of Ministry of Women and Child Development to take care of training of
Anganwadi Services functionaries under umbrella ICDS. Hence, the Institute is responsible for

planning, organising, coordinating and monitoring training; building capabilities of various institutions
engaged in imparting training; organising training of trainers; designing, revising and standardising
syllabi for training of all categories of functionaries of Anganwadi Services; and developing, distribution
of training reference materials. NIPCCD conducts regular training programmes like Job Training Course
and Refresher Course for CDPOs, Skill Development Courses on thematic areas, Vertical Training
Programme for ASS functionaries as well as Orientation Training and Refresher Training for Instructors
of AWTCs/MLTCs in the country.
4. The duration of Job Training Course for AWWs is 26 working days. The objectives of the Job
Training Course are to orient AWWs about the Anganwadi Services such as its philosophy, objectives,
package of services and beneficiaries; familiarise them with their role and responsibilities vis-à-vis job
responsibilities of other functionaries in the matter of coordination and management of AWC; discuss
about recent developments and new thrusts areas under Anganwadi Services under Umbrella ICDS;
apprise AWWs about various aspects of Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) including
nutrition and health; share the need, importance and strategies for convergence of services at village
levels for effective implementation; enhance their requisite skills on ECCE, Health & Nutrition and
Community Participation.
5. The Syllabus of Job Training Course for AWWs has been revised keeping in view the recent
developments in Anganwadi Services Scheme. The 26 days syllabus comprised of different components
such as De-freezing; Orientation to Anganwadi Services Scheme; Early Childhood Care & Education
(ECCE); Nutrition & Health Service; Community Mobilization, Advocacy & Awareness;
Organization & Management; and Supervised Practices so that AWW are equipped with the required
knowledge, understanding and skills to effectively carry out her jobs very effectively at AWCs. Efforts
have been made to strengthen skills of AWWs in major thrust areas such as conducting ECCE activities,
growth monitoring, counselling with mothers & care givers, Infant and Young child Feeding (IYCF),
Home Visits, community mobilisation, mothers meetings, community based events, management of
malnutrition, Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illnesses (IMNCI), and ICDS-
Common Application Software (CAS). The present syllabus is a blend of both theoretical and practical
sessions. Moreover, concerted efforts have been made to lay emphasis on learning by doing approach
like demonstration, role play, mock session and practical exercises so that AWWs would find it
interesting & meaningful. Another feature of this syllabus is field exposure visit and supervised
practices. These visits would equip AWWs to gain first hand experiences on topics that are delivered in
classroom and understand its practical relevance at AWCs. Supervised practices are planned under the
supervision of trainers in field and it would enable AWWs to understand their role and embrace field
3
experiences. These experiences would bridge the gap between classroom training and field reality. The
revised syllabus of Job Training Course for AWW would help AWWs to enhance knowledge, sharpen
skills and develop understanding about their job responsibilities and upgrade themselves to meet the
present day requirements with regard to holistic child development.
6. The updation of this Syllabus for Job Training would be a continuation process keeping in view
the training needs of AWWs. The Syllabus would be finalised once in a year and uploaded in the web
site of NIPCCD. All the States/UTs are requested that this training curriculum developed by NIPCCD
may be adopted by them with suitable changes as per their requirements without compromising with the
quality of training while adhering to the updates policies/programmes of the Ministry of Women and
Child Development as communicated to NIPCCD vide letter No. 13-4/2017-ICDS Training dated 20-
12-17. However, states/UTs need to intimate MWCD and NIPCCD about the changes made by them.
There are four sessions (a total of 4.25 hours) kept in this syllabus in various components of training to
incorporate state specific subjects for providing training to AWWs. These 4.25 hours are to be
exclusively used by states/UTs to train AWWs on state specific interventions/best practices/recent
developments etc. It may be also mentioned that, if these slots are not used by states/UTs, then this time
would be used by trainers in bridging the learning gaps by conducting mock sessions/ demonstration/
practice/ group work/ for the respective component. Similarly, there is a need to address the training
requirements of AWWs to adopt and implement the recent developments at AWC level. These recent
developments would be incorporated in the syllabus at any point of time in the year without waiting for
yearly updation. Therefore, all states/UTs/ Training Centres need to check and download the syllabus
before organisation of the training programme.
