For
construction of AWCs in convergence with Ministry of Rural Development, joint
guidelines were issued by Ministries of Women & Child Development, Rural
Development and Panchayati Raj on 17.02.2016 for construction of 4 lakhs Anganwadi
Centre Buildings across the country under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural
Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS). Under convergence, plan expenditure up
to Rs.5.00 lakh per AWC building is allowed from MGNREGS. Expenditure beyond
Rs.5.00 lakh per AWC including finishing, flooring, painting, plumbing,
electrification, wood work etc. to the extent of Rs.2.00 lakh is met from the
ICDS funds in the existing cost sharing ratio between Centre and States.
For
drinking water and sanitation facilities in AWCs, States/UTs can tap the funds
from Panchayati Raj Institutions as funds are available with them under 14th
Finance Commission grants.
Government
of India has impressed upon the State Governments/UT Administrations to make
the provisions for drinking water and toilet facilities at Anganwadi Centres
(AWCs) from time to time by making efforts to leverage funds from other schemes
of the State Government like MPLADS, MLALADS, Rural Infrastructure Development
Funds etc
