NEW DELHI: Delhi’s women and child development minister Kailash Gahlot on Friday approved a proposal to invite Expressions of Interest for the supply of supplementary nutrition under anganwadi services from self-help groups, their consortium and organisations having resources to set up and operate large kitchen and food processing units by involving local women collectives.
The government in a statement said that the existing system of providing supplementary nutrition was 15 years old and predominantly operated by non-profit organisations. In most cases, the women engaged by them remained in the workforce rather than developing as “self-sustainable self-help groups, it said.
