+**Short version.** **Anganwadi Centres (AWCs)** under **Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) / Mission Saksham Anganwadi & Poshan 2.0** provide **6 services** to children 0-6 + pregnant women + lactating mothers: supplementary nutrition, pre-school education, nutrition & health education, immunisation, health check-up, referral. If your AWC is not providing these, RTI to **PIO of CDPO Block / District Programme Officer (ICDS)** with **₹10 fee** legally forces a written reply within **30 days** under §7(1) RTI Act 2005.

+===== A real story =====
+Sunita's village AWC in rural Bihar hadn't given hot meals for 8 weeks. Children went hungry.
+She filed RTI to **CDPO Saharsa Block**. **15 days later** CDPO replied: AWW honorarium pending; SNP grain shipment delayed; corrective action taken. Hot meals resumed week later.

+- **National Food Security Act 2013 §4-5** — pregnant/lactating + 6mo-6yr children entitled to free food.

+- Beneficiary not added → §4 NFSA challenge.
+===== Case law =====
+- **//PUCL v. UoI// (Right to Food, ongoing)** — SC on AWC service obligations.
+- **//Anjali Bhardwaj v. UoI// (2018)** — §4(1)(b)(xii) suo motu beneficiary lists.

+===== FAQs =====
+==== AWC closed regularly — escalation? ====
+CDPO → DPO → State Department of Women & Child Development.
+==== AWW/AWH honorarium delayed — workers' RTI? ====
+Yes — separate RTI by AWW.
+==== Cooked meal vs take-home ration? ====
+Per state — ask local norms.
