Process: NDCC • The Nutrition cum Day Care Centers (NDCC) are entirely funded by the community – member/beneficiary and the VO – through a “pay-per-use-plan”. The cost of TWO MEALS PER DAY is Rs 25 for pregnant mothers and Rs 10 for children. • The cost of meal for the pregnant mother is SUBSIDIZED. The subsidy is funded by their respective VOs via internal accruals in the year 2007-08. Subsequently, the same is being dovetailed in the form of kind from ICDS which is a Government program targeting pregnant mothers. • The pregnant mothers are extended a micro loan to finance the cost of their meal program, through their respective SHG i.e., consumption smoothing via a consumption loan. • The loan will be repaid over 36-40 months depending on the cash-flow status of the beneficiary.
Status • Adopted BCC strategy thru’ 900 Community Resource Persons (CRPs) and established 680 NDCCs in 63 mandals till the end of Feb 09. • Against Rs 2000 lakhs sanctioned under NRHM for both universal and intensive approaches adopted in the project, Rs 1993 lakhs was the expenditure till the end of Feb 09.
Impact • The Nutrition Center has lead to a reduction in no.of neonatal, infant and maternal deaths and a with improved nutrition seeking behaviour and adequate knowledge on maternal and neonatal care practices among the rural poor. • Impact assessment by SOCHURSOD, the external agency under the supervision and guidance of Dr.Drole, CRHP, Jamkhed and assistance from Interns from John Hopkins University, USA is under way. • Interim report (draft) results from 3 tribal districts is prepared.
