dc.description.abstract"This study conducted in Dharwad taluka during 2002 aimed at getting a comprehensive picture of anganwadi workers’problems. Hundred anganwadi workers in 28 selected villages were interviewed personally. Pre-tested interview schedule, interview guide and observation were the tools used. Majority of respondents had a high level of knowledge about objectives of ICDS and their duties in anganwadi. This was positively and significantly related with their age, experience and training. Majority (92%)complained of low honorarium .More than 50% respondents reported, lack of fuel for supplementary feeding, hesitation of pregnant women to take iron tablet and undergo immunization, lack of time to carry out pre-school education properly and lack of water and toilets in anganwadi. Some respondents (38%) reported nonco-operation from government health functionaries in implementing health component of ICDS. Collecting village information not related to ICDS for government is another problem (36%). Interference with their child care duties was the main family problem of widows and divorcees. Majority of(73%) unmarried subjects reported that, anganwadi work created problems in housekeeping. Inability to use own salary was the main family problem of married respondents. Married respondents who stayed in a different village had significantly more number of job related problems than other categories of respondents. Married Hindu respondents and those who were staying in a different village had significantly more number of family problems than unmarried, SCs, STs and those who lived in the same village. Respondents belonging to nuclear family and those who lived less than 10 years in rural areas than others had more personal problems at 5% level of significance These results imply the need to increase the present honorarium along with converting their honorary post to the government job. Results also imply the need to improve the anganwadi building with provision for sufficient indoor and outdoor space, toilets and drinking water supply. There is a need for sufficient equipment to carry out pre-school education, health and nutrition education and supplementary feeding in anganwadi."en_US
