A total of five AWCs were randomly selected from each of these voluntary organizations and the government running ICDS Projects/AWCs. The random selection of these AWCs was made on the basis of the list provided by the concerned CDPO. In order to ensure the fair representation of AWCs which were selected for in depth study, precautions were taken not to choose more than two AWCs from same supervisory circle of ICDS Project. The questionnaire and the answer to these questions were collected, for these indicators from the NGO and the Government ICDS project were collected in the excel formats such as Availability of Toilets and Indoor Space, Availability of Weighing Scales and Medicine Kit, Effective Coverage under Supplementary Nutrition, Average Number of Days for Distribution of Supplementary Nutrition, Referrals, Nutrition and Health Education and Health Check Up, Kishori Shakti Yojana, Community Contribution Pre School Education, Availability of PSE Material, CDPO Monitoring of Anganwadi Centers, Additional Tasks Performed by AWWs. The comparison has been made on Infrastructure, Delivery of Services (Supplementary Nutrition, Pre School Education and Health Services) Community Involvement and Monitoring Visits. The formats of the data were prepared in such a way that the data could be used in variety of ways for subsequent analysis.

After collecting, tabulating, interpreting the data and summarizing the results, an attempt has been made to present some broad conclusions and recommendations. It is hoped that the recommendations of the study, if implemented, would make the implementation of ICDS with involvement of voluntary organizations. Thus we can say that the ICDS should be given to NGO; they will perform better as per the directives of our prime minister of India.
