Abstract

The research explores the integration of communication technologies by AWWs in Malappuram, Kerala, to enhance service delivery by bridging the digital divide. Anganwadi centers, a cornerstone of India's Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), play a pivotal role in maternal health and Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE). This study investigates how Anganwadi workers leverage smart phones, internet-based tools, and other communication technologies to overcome challenges in service delivery, improve efficiency, and ensure better health and nutrition outcomes for beneficiaries. Through in-depth interviews, surveys, and case studies, the research highlights the transformative potential of technology in grassroots healthcare delivery, examines the role of interpersonal face to face communication and provides recommendations for scaling these innovations across India.
