Monthly progress Report – October 2022

I. Child Nutrition: Home-Based Care:


During the reporting period, all women counsellors give their support in home-based care a
total of 92 pregnant and 82 lactating women and 611 registered children between 0-5 years.
In this month, counsellors visited a total of 605 children’s household for taking their growth
monitoring, counselling for caregivers and they tracked the nutritional status of children. They
also counselled caregivers and pregnant women on nutrition, exclusive breastfeeding, timely
antenatal check-ups, institutional delivery, and lactating mothers for age-appropriate
complementary feeding.
All the counsellors did growth monitoring (weight-for-age) of 605 out of 611 registered
children. As per the collected data, it was found that 82% of children are well nourished, 11%
of children are moderately malnourished, and 7% of children are severely malnourished.
Additionally, the assessment in the MUAC was carried out on only 565 out of 605 children,
with the assessment showing that 92% of the children were classified as well-nourished, 7%
as moderately malnourished and 2% as severely malnourished. In addition to continuous
counselling of parents by counsellors on nutrition, care, or any emergency, children in the
malnourished category are monitored regularly and referred to hospitals as needed. In this
sequence, a total of 9 children were provided primary health care by the counsellor in this
month due to seasonal diseases.
2. Child Nutrition: Institution-Based Care (Aanganwadis)
During the reporting period, all the Aanganwadis are functional regularly with the distribution
of ready to eat food pack to the enrolled beneficiaries. All the Anganwadi workers continued

activities. Aanganwadi and ASHA workers also sensitized caregivers and pregnant women
about MCHN day sessions and vaccinations.

MCHN day with the support of ASHA and ANM, and with this total of 20 pregnant women had
completed their 4 ANC. Along with this, also women counsellor helped in National Deworming
Day at anganwadi centers
3. Screening of SAM children: CMAM is a decentralized community-based approach for treating
severe acute malnutrition. The main aim of this activity is to provide immediate treatment
and nutritious supplements at the community level to SAM children without any medical
complications so that these children can recover faster and move out of the SAM category.
The screening was done in all villages through anthropometric measurements i.e., weight,
height and MUAC (Mid Upper Arm Circumference) and assessment of bilateral pitting edema
to identify malnourished children. A total of 544 children from the age of 6-59 months
(enrolled at AWC) were screened by women counsellor by door-to-door visits.
After assessment of all the measurements of the children then identified children of severe
and moderate malnourished as per WHZ (Weight for height Z score) and MUAC. These
identified children will be again anthropometrically assessed by GNM in the upcoming CMAM
camp and treatment will be given as per the CMAM camp protocol.
