Welcome to Khandaghosh ICDS Project

The Khandaghosh ICDS Project refers to the implementation of the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) in the Khandaghosh region, located in the Purba Bardhaman district of West Bengal, India. It plays a critical role in improving the health, nutrition, and overall well-being of children under six years, pregnant women, and lactating mothers. This initiative aligns with the government’s mission to foster early childhood care and development in rural communities.

2. Promote Early Childhood Development: Provide pre-school education and cognitive stimulation for children aged 3–6 years.

3. Enhance Maternal and Child Health: Improve maternal health and reduce infant and maternal mortality through health services and nutritional support.
