Introduction

ICDS is an important program for meeting the holistic needs of children, pregnant women and lactating mothers. The

Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD) is implementing a Real Time Monitoring System (RTM) for

improving the service delivery and ensuring better supervision of ICDS Scheme by deploying the ICDS-Common

Application Software (CAS) solution across Anganwadi Centers (AWCs) in the ISSNIP States.

ICDS-CAS with automation of 10 out of 11 ICDS registers, shall enable us to achieve the following objectives:

Name-based registration of ICDS beneficiaries in each AWC catchment area

Improve AWW efficiency and effectiveness by embedding job aids and tools in their mobile phones (e.g.

Nutrition Counseling of Pregnant Women, Infant and Young Child Feeding practices, etc.)

Monitor timelines and quality of service delivered to the beneficiaries by AWW

Provide reports and dashboards with real time information to various stakeholders for prompt action and

decision-making

This manual is designed to help the government (from the National level to the block level) to use the ICDS-CAS

Dashboard on their computers to view real time information collected by the Anganwadi workers on their phones and

provide timely supportive supervision.

The ICDS-CAS Dashboard

The ICDS-CAS Dashboard has been created for use by MWCD officials at the National, State, District and Block Levels to

be able to access real time information in order to:

1. View raw data submitted by AWWs and Lady Supervisors in a useful and easily understandable manner

2. Monitor and evaluate ICDS indicators in order to view progress and identify problem areas

3. Supervise the functioning of the ICDS program

4. Make prompt data-driven decisions to improve service delivery

The ICDS-CAS Dashboard visualizes data on indicators that are further categorized under the following reports:

Main Dashboard-provides a high level snapshot view of the major ICDS indicators

Nutrition Dashboard- displays an overview of the nutrition status of children up to the age of 6 years in the

ICDS program

Operational Status- provides an overview of the major functions and activities of AWCs

System Usage- displays data on the overall usage of the ICDS-CAS applications

Nutrition Detail- displays underweight status and related indicators and allows you to filter by age, caste, etc.

Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices (IYCF) Detail- displays IYCF and related indicators and allows you to

filter by age, caste, etc.

Newborn Low Birth Weight (LBW) - displays newborn LBW and related indicators and allows you to filter by

age, caste, etc.

AWC Information- will display a detailed view for a single AWC

Demographics- provides details on beneficiaries at a chosen AWC

Figure 2: How is data being sent to the dashboard

The above diagram is helpful in understanding the workflow of ICDS-CAS in order to outline how the data reaches the

ICDS-CAS Dashboard. Data is collected by AWWs and Supervisors from beneficiaries during home visits and AWC visits

and synced with a central server. The ICDS-CAS dashboard is populated with data from the central server. The

6

dashboard can be accessed by all Block Helpdesk, CDPO Office (Block level), DPO Office (District Level), State ICDS

Directorate (State Level) and Centre (National Level). Each of these administrative levels can access information

relevant to that particular level in order to monitor and evaluate the ICDS program.

When is data being sent to the Dashboard

Data is sent to the central servers to update the Dashboards in real time. Reports displayed on the dashboards will be

continuously updated with data from forms submitted by AWWs and Supervisors. However, the data displayed will be

in accordance with the reporting period. Thus the dashboards will look more populated towards the end of the month

(as more forms are submitted by AWWs and Supervisors) than at the beginning of the month. Dashboard users may

view up-to-date real time data at any time. However, to gather the most accurate picture of the ICDS program at the

beginning of a month, dashboard users must view data for the previous month.

7

Log-In Instructions for the ICDS-CAS Dashboard

The ICDS-CAS Dashboard is a web based system. Each dashboard user will be given a username and password. Each

State should have completed the required process for uploading usernames (as per User Management Guidelines) and

the respective State Help Desk leads should share login credentials with each District and Block Help Desk lead.

The URL for accessing ICDS-CAS Dashboard is: www.icds-cas.gov.in/a/icds-cas. Navigate to this URL on your web

browser.

Note: The most suitable browser to view Dashboards is Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.

Dashboard data population in accordance with Training Rollout

Training on ICDS-CAS mobile application is given to Anganwadi Worker (AWW) and Lady Supervisor (LS) in a phased

manner. Training is covered in 4 stages and at each stage the AWW and LS are expected to fill out specific modules

and forms in the application.

As and when users fill information on the ICDS-CAS mobile application, data will start populating in the main

Dashboard. Below is a table that shows what indicators and data points one can start seeing at the end of each stage

of training (see figure 17).

Figure 17: Dashboard indicators at the end of each training phase

Interpreting Reports and Data-Driven Decision-Making

The various reports available on the ICDS-CAS Dashboard display data on different parts of the ICDS program for

administrative officers to interpret as they see fit to the program. This section of the manual aims to provide some

support to administrative officials on how to interact with and understand the various reports available on the

dashboard in order to make data-driven decisions in the ICDS program.

In order to provide a detailed understanding of how to navigate the dashboard for use in decision-making to improve

service delivery of the ICDS program, two use-cases are presented here:

Case 1: Investigating factors contributing to low Active AWWs

A dashboard user at the National level is looking at the ‘Main Dashboard’ and observes that the snapshot view on

Active AWWs is less than 70% (See figure 18).

Figure 18: Snapshot View showing % of AWWs active

The user wishes to investigate this further and so selects the ‘System Usage Dashboard’ from the drop down menu on

the top left (see figure 19).

Figure 19: Navigating to System Usage Dashboard

On the ‘System Usage Dashboard’ the user observes that 4 States are colored red on the bar chart. Using the tooltip by

hovering over the bar chart, the dashboard user understands that less than 75% of AWW app users are active (see

figure 20).

39

Figure 20: Using tooltip to understand bar chart on System Usage Dashboard

User wishes to investigate the factors contributing to low Active AWWs in these 4 States. At this point, the dashboard

user may brainstorm the reasons for low Active AWWs. Some reasons maybe:

Lack of use of ICDS-CAS AWW application (due to lack of knowledge on how to use system, device related

issues, lack of data/connectivity of phones, lack of motivation to use ICDS-CAS apps)

Infrastructure related challenges at AWCs

Infrastructure related issues in the area (lack of roads, flooding, etc.)

Brainstorming reasons when looking at the data displayed will help in investigating the data and better inform

monitoring, evaluation, and service delivery of the ICDS program

In order to further investigate this issue, the dashboard user may:

1) Drill down on the ‘Active AWWs’ Chart on the ‘System Usage Dashboard’ to the District, Block, Sector, AWC

level to identify all the low performing areas. Observe how the rest of the data displayed on related indicators

changes, at each point of drill down.

2) The user may also view the data for the previous month and see if the displayed data changes considerably.

Viewing drill down data between the previous month and current month may give insight into low number of

Active AWWs.

3) Access a different report such as ‘Operational Status Dashboard’ to view a related indicator eg. Avg. Days

Open to understand if lack of submission of forms may be due to challenges in opening the AWC or Avg. PSE

Attendance to understand if AWC activities have stopped due to lack of attendance, etc. Take action based on

this data to contact relevant officials such as DPO, CDPO (who can also view this data on the Dashboard) to

understand the causes for inactive users.

40

4) Drill down to the block level for a State with low Active AWWs, scroll to the bottom of the ‘System Usage

Dashboard’ to view a list of Inactive AWWs. Contact relevant officials such as DPO, CDPO (who can also view

this data on the Dashboard) to understand the causes for inactive users.

Case 2: Investigating factors contributing to low % Underweight

A dashboard user at the National level will first observe on the Main Dashboard, the snapshot view of % Underweight

is 30%. In order to understand the factors contributing to this low number, you can first get an overview on the Main

Dashboard and then dive deeper into the dashboard for a detailed view to identify and target areas that require more

attention.

Continue looking at the Main Dashboard, under the sub-report ‘Nutrition Status’. On the map you find States are

colored differently (see figure 21).

Figure 21: Snapshot view of % Underweight on Main Dashboard

You find one State is orange colored and understand that this means the particular State has at least 5% Severely

Underweight children or 15% Moderately Underweight children (see figure 22).

41

To investigate this further, drill down on the orange colored State by clicking on it to view a district level map (see

figure 23 and 24).

Figure 23: View tooltip, Click State and loading drill down

Figure 22: View of Nutrition Status at National Level

42

Figure 24: Drilldown to districts

First brainstorm various reasons for low % Underweight. Some reasons maybe:

Lack of THR supplies

Poor counseling by AWWs

Low attendance at AWCs to receive hot meals

Poor adoption of positive behaviors to improve nutrition (low rates of EBF, CF)

Environmental factors affecting nutrition status of an area (Poor sanitation, lack of food access resulting in low

food diversity/quantity)

Brainstorming reasons when looking at the data displayed will help in investigating the data and better inform

monitoring, evaluation, and service delivery of the ICDS program

In order to further investigate this issue, the dashboard user may:

1) Drill down further on the ‘Nutrition Status’ sub report by clicking on a particular District, Block, Sector, and

AWC level. At each point, you may view the other sub-reports on the Dashboard (AWC functioning, Infant and

Child Feeding, and AWC functioning indicators) to see how the data changes based on the administrative level

that you are viewing.

43

From here you can deduce that all AWCs in these blocks aren’t doing well. You can specifically follow up with CDPOs

of these blocks to understand more about the status.

2) You can specifically investigate nutrition indicators to identify the factors causing low % Underweight, by

accessing the ‘Nutrition Detail’ report from the drop down menu on the top left of the page. On the top left of

the Dashboard, you may select Nutrition Detail from the dropdown. Also observe trend lines displayed in

these reports to understand how the indicators may have changed over time and think about what that

means.

When you drill down to Nutrition Detail, you can see the same Nutrition Status along with a trend line. This shows

not just what the recent month’s nutrition status is but also what has been the trend for the last 3 months. As a

Dashboard user you can deduce if the trend is upward or downward which should help you in good decision

making. In addition, you can see if this affects certain sub categories of beneficiaries, gender and/or other groups

by using the filter on the right.

Madhya Pradesh is Orange overall. The tooltip will

describe more information about why this is orange

On Drilling down to the district level one can see that

some districts are green, orange and red

Drill down further to see how blocks for one of the red

districts are doing. Here we see all blocks are red for

Nutrition Status. On the right, we see that for all blocks

the AWC Functioning report suggests they are Non

Functional

44

3) To get a more comprehensive view, you may view the other sub-reports on the Nutrition Detail Dashboard

that includes nutrition related indicators (THR Chart & Trend, IYCF practices, Counseling indicators, Diet

diversity, and Diet Quantity). These reports present potential causes of why Nutrition Indicators are low.

Some examples below.

4) Based on this data, you may identify a specific nutrition related indicator that requires more attention. You

may further investigate by viewing IYCF Detail Dashboard, LBW Dashboard, AWC info or Demographic info. At

this point you may also contact the officials at the particular administrative level (DPO, CDPO) to enquire

about the AWC activities in that area. The DPO or CDPO may also view the data for their administrative

level/areas on the dashboard and follow up with the relevant Supervisors and AWWs.

5) If you are unable to identify any nutrition related factors that may be contributing to low % Underweight, you

may view other reports (Operational Status, System Usage) to explore reasons for low % Underweight.

Scrolling down on Nutrition Detail you can notice

that for the blocks that were red, there is

additional related indicators such as Infant and

Young Child Feeding practices and Counseling.

In this example you can notice that on average

only 40% of mothers have breastfed exclusively.

And in the counseling indicators, it is evident that

AWWs have only provided counseling to 30%-

34% of beneficiaries.

You can deduce that Child Practices indicators

are low considering counseling is low which is

impacting the overall nutrition status.
