Nutrition Study Programme – THR Study Policy

Under the ICDS scheme, the Anganwadi Centre provides supplementary nutrition in the form of ‘Take Home Ration’ (THR) packets to children under 3 years. Whereas, in Dharani and Chikhaldara blocks of Amaravati, cooked food is being distributed. The Nutrition Rights Coalition has undertaken a study to assess both types of supplementary nutrition, comparing the effectiveness of THR packets vs. cooked food in terms of distribution, usage, nutritional value and nutritional status of the children.
