Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the compliance of the Union of India with its previous directions regarding the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) Scheme, specifically concerning nutritional and feeding norms. The Court noted the revision of these norms based on a Task Force's recommendations, which aimed to reduce malnutrition among children and pregnant women. The revised norms include increased caloric and protein intake for various beneficiary categories, thereby enhancing the nutritional support provided under the ICDS Scheme.
