The system helps to sort the data based on different key parameters like child growth, MUAC (Mean Upper Arm Circumference) and breastfeeding status, and therefore to identify areas of concern and implement directed intervention. This system has recently upgraded to incorporate detailed information regarding own building of ICDS centres including those under construction with photograph and geospatial information. Nutritional status of a child is one of the most important indicators of the nation’s health. Common indicators of malnutrition include underweight, wasting and stunting of growth. The District of Malda has a high prevalence of underweight children. 28.88 percent of the children in the zero to five age group are found to be underweight. Lack of quality monitoring system with feedback mechanism is a major challenge to the successful implementation of the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS). The Malnutrition Monitoring System is a web enabled system based on open source tools. Its target is to create a healthy practice of continuous supervision and tackling the situation through various measures such as food supplement, referring the child to the doctor and intimating the parents concerned etc. DELIVERABLES OF THE SOFTWARE Easy operation based on user roles, management and menus Option for Batch and Quick Data Entry, Edit and update with automatic Child ID Insertion of new item MUAC (Mean Upper Arm Circumference) Availability of various reports Bar Diagram for Project wise Severely Malnourished/ Malnourished Children Performance report with Pie Chart in 3 different ways (As reported by Supervisors, Age-vs-Weight, Height-vs-Weight) Individual Child Status with Graph Anganwadi Centre-wise details Project/ Supervisor/ Centre-wise list of Severely Malnourished/ Malnourished Children against the parameter (Age-vs-Weight) OR (Height-vs-Weight) OR (As reported by Supervisor) Uploading Bulk photo from Client / Server Menu based Data backup I am happy to know about the implementation of Malnutrition software for the children of Malda district.

ROSHNI SEN, IAS Secretary Department of Women & Child Development & Social Welfare Govt. of West Bengal MOBILE APPLICATION FOR CENTRE VISIT BY THE SUPERVISORS AND CDPOS To monitor the field visit and centre visit by the CDPOs and Supervisors, a mobile application has been developed and implemented. Supervisors capture the activities at the Anganwadi Centre during their centre visit and upload into the portal through their Mobile phone installed with mobile App. These facilitate monitoring of field visit by the ground level officials and activities at the centre. APPLICATION FOR ICDS INFRASTRUCTURE To monitor the existing infrastructure under ICDS and to strengthen the infrastructure through proper monitoring, a web-based application has been developed and implemented in the District during August, 2017. The application provides login by the CDPOs and upload details of their own building, under construction building of Anganwadi Centre along with photograph. Administrative user can log in to view and monitoring. NIC Malda has played a pivotal role in aiding the administration to track the status of malnutrition among the children in various forms with this web enabled Malnutrition Monitoring System. It helps to sort the data based on different key parameters like child growth, MUAC (Mean Upper Arm Circumference) and breastfeeding status, and therefore to identify areas of concern and implement directed intervention.
