Geo-Tagged Mapping of AWCs
One of the key innovations in DACR is the geo-tagging of all Anganwadi Centres using GIS (Geographic Information System). This enables:
Accurate Location Identification
Ensures that AWCs are mapped precisely for better accessibility and planning.
Integration with Nearby Schools
Helps identify schools in proximity to foster resource-sharing, infrastructure utilization, and service collaboration.
Disaster and Emergency Preparedness
Facilitates quick location of AWCs during disasters, ensuring timely relief and safety measures for children and pregnant/lactating mothers.
Benefits of Digital Anganwadi Centre Registry (DACR)
Enhanced Transparency & Accountability
Ensures real-time tracking of service delivery, resource availability, and staff performance.
Improved Data Accuracy & Decision-Making
Helps policymakers identify gaps, plan interventions, and allocate resources efficiently.
Better Resource Utilization
Facilitates integration with nearby schools to avoid duplication of efforts and improve child development outcomes.
Effective Monitoring & Evaluation
Real-time dashboards enable government officials and stakeholders to monitor Anganwadi performance effectively.
Strengthened Early Childhood Education
Ensures better preparatory learning for children, making their transition to primary school smoother.
Seamless Coordination with Health Programs
Improves implementation of maternal and child health initiatives by integrating AWCs with health centers and hospitals.
