| dc.description.abstract | Supervisor provides guidance and leadership for the successful implementation of the objectives. The present study was conducted during the year 2011-2012 in four purposively selected districts namely; Belgaum, Dharwad, Gadag and Haveri. The research design was ex-post facto with 60 Anganawadi Supervisors of ICDS. Out of these 30 were graduates of college of Rural Home Science, Dharwad and another 30 were graduates from other non agricultural Universities. Further 120 Anganawadi workers and 120 rural women were selected to know the contribution of Anganawadi Supervisors to the beneficiaries. The main findings revealed that there was significant difference between Home Science and Non-Home Science Supervisors with regard to Leadership Effectiveness. Majority of the Supervisors were in 30-40 years of age group and belonged to nuclear and medium size family i.e., 4-6 members. Home Science Supervisors (91.67 %) were having experience between 7-8 years and preferred individual contact methods (93.33%) with colleagues. Home Science and Non- Home Science Supervisors used group contact methods with the Anganawadi worker and with rural women used group contact as well as mass contact methods. Overall index of Leadership effectiveness of Home Science Supervisors was 90.39 per cent while Non-Home Science Supervisors was 87.17 per cent. For leadership effectiveness, training is significant for Home Science and Non-Home Science Supervisors while for communication pattern age, education, experience and trainings were significant for only Home Science Supervisors. Cent percent of the Anganawadi workers opined that ‘Supervisor visits Anganawadi unexpectedly’, ‘checks all the registers’, ‘provides all the supplementary feeding material’. Cent percent of the rural women opined that ‘Supervisor gave necessary information’, ‘conducted training programmes on EDP’ and ‘visited malnourished and grade children houses’. Problems perceived by Supervisors were ‘higher officers inform them at the end moment’, ‘non-cooperation with the colleagues’, irregularity in attendance of subordinates’ and ‘cannot take care of children and elderly person at home’. | en_US |
