For what reason is ICDS an issue for socially barred groups?

It is clear from the data that nutritional penetration is not universal across India: 42.5% of Indian children are underweight. But this figure is significantly higher for socially excluded groups: 43.1% girls, 47.9% children are SC and 54.5% for ST children.

Similar disparities are seen in vaccination. While only 43.5% of children in India have received the full set of vaccinations, the figures for socially excluded groups are even higher: only 39.7% of SC children, 31.3% of ST children and 36.3% of Muslim children. Is kind of immune.

Along with 2012/13 data, it shows that 10% of ICDS centers are not providing supplementary nutrition. These figures suggest that the services provided under the ICDS scheme are not accessible by all communities. A reality that PACS has tried to address.
