Two Anganwadis, Koranpeedika and Pariyaram School, were analyzed and compared. Pariyaram has slightly more beneficiaries across age groups. Both centers provide health checkups, immunizations, supplementary nutrition, and pre-school education. However, Pariyaram provides additional services like special milk and involves parents more through monthly meetings. While both centers fulfill government ICDS objectives, Pariyaram has better facilities and delivers more comprehensive services. Overall, the Anganwadi program aims to improve child and mother health, but could be further strengthened through increased resources, staff salaries, and community participation.
