The Digital Anganwadi Centre Registry (DACR) is a transformative initiative aimed at creating a comprehensive digital profile of all Anganwadi Centres (AWCs) across India. The objective is to enhance the efficiency, transparency, and service delivery of the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme, which plays a crucial role in child nutrition, early childhood education, and maternal health services.
Key Features of DACR
Comprehensive Digital Profiles of AWCs
DACR aims to digitize and centralize critical data related to each Anganwadi Centre, ensuring a single source of truth for monitoring and decision-making. The key data captured includes:
Infrastructure Details
Availability and condition of buildings, water, sanitation, electricity, kitchen, storage, and learning/play areas.
Capacity & Enrollment
Captures AWC capacity, enrolled children by age group, and beneficiaries under various schemes.
Staffing Information
Names, designations, training records, qualifications, attendance, and work schedules of workers and helpers.
Service Delivery
Nutrition, preschool education, immunization, health checkups, service frequency, and digital tracking of Take-Home Rations (THR) and SNP.
By digitizing these aspects, DACR facilitates real-time tracking of performance, gaps, and requirements at every Anganwadi Centre.
