An evaluation survey (1991-92) on utilization and awareness of ICDS services among pregnant and lactating women revealed that in subcentre areas beneficiaries were less aware of location and staff of anganwadi centre (AWC) and that they visited AWC less often as compared to their counterparts in non-subcentre areas. More beneficiaries in subcentre area said that immunization services provided by AWC were inadequate as compared to the responses in non-subcentre area. A different role for AWC & its staff in subcentre headquarter villages is recommended.
