This study critically investigates the Integrated Child Development Services Scheme (ICDSS) in Palghar District, Maharashtra. Since its establishment in 2014, Palghar, a tribal-dominated district, has faced significant challenges such as poverty, superstition, and addiction, contributing to widespread malnutrition among children. The scheme aims to mitigate these issues through initiatives like supplementary nutrition and healthcare for pregnant women, lactating mothers, and children under 6 years. Despite governmental efforts, malnutrition remains pervasive, necessitating a comprehensive review of policy implementation and community participation.
