It points out issues such as “difficulties in distribution of food, poor cooking infrastructure, inadequate space, lack of drinking water…perception that this is a service for the poor, …mushrooming of private playschools”, exclusion of backward castes due to bad location of anganwadi centres, incongruence in timing of anganwadi centres and demand of work on women, migration-based employment, non-functional weighing machines, staff shortages, bad roads, delayed release of funds, etc.
