9. Revised Nutrition and Feeding Norms under Supplementary
Nutrition Component of ICDS (revised w.e.f 24 February 2009)
Provision of supplementary nutrition under the ICDS Scheme is primarily made to
bridge the gap between the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) and the
Average Daily Intake (ADI) of children and pregnant and lactating women. Under
the revised Nutritional and Feeding norms which have been made effective from
February 2009, State Governments/UTs have been requested to provide 300 days of
supplementary food to the beneficiaries in a year which would entail giving more
than one meal to the children from 3-6 years who visit AWCs. This includes morning
snacks in the form of milk/banana/egg/seasonal fruits/micro-nutrient fortified
food followed by a hot cooked meal (HCM). For children below 3 years of age,
pregnant and lactating mothers, Take Home Rations (THRs) in the form of pre-
mixes/ready-to-eat food are provided. Besides, for severely underweight children
in the age group of 6 months to 6 years, additional food items in the form of
micronutrient fortified food and/or energy dense food as THR is provided. These
norms have also been endorsed by the Supreme Court in order dated 22.04.2009.

from Grades S II and IV malnutrition compared with non ICDS areas and the
