ABSTRACT

This paper investigates the demographic and socio-economic cor-relates of utilization of integrated child development services (ICDS) among children. Using data from the National Family Health Survey-3 (2005-2006), an attempt has been made to find out differences in the level of utilization according to social class and household economic conditions. This paper found that the utilization was far from satisfactory cutting across social class, household economic status and other attributes. The article pre-sents findings that could help evolve new strategies to improve the utilization of ICDS services, and potentially reduce persistent undernutrition in India.
