Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) projects are set up in backward and poor regions and cover children who come from :
(a) landless families
(b) affluent farmers with high family income
(c) scheduled castes and scheduled tribes families
(d) families whose monthly income is less than Rs. 500/-
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Answer: C
ICDS covers children from (a), (c) and (d) only.
ICDS projects were first set up in backward, tribal and slum areas to reach the most vulnerable children: those from landless families, from scheduled caste and scheduled tribe families, and from families with very low incomes, such as below Rs. 500 a month in the scheme's early norms.
Children of affluent farmers with high family incomes (b) are not the target group, so every option including (b) is wrong.
