The Rapid Survey on Children (RSOC) was commissioned by the Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD) in 29 States during 2013-14 with technical and financial assistance from UNICEF India.
Key objective of the survey was to assess the situation of children and women in the country with special emphasis on access and utilization of services under the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) Scheme and to provide baseline data for the restructured Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) Scheme. A positive trend has been observed in respect of improvement in key health and nutrition indicators (child nutrition and maternal health) at the national level, in comparison to the last held national survey viz., National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-III during 2005-06. As per the findings of the survey, proportion of moderately underweight children below five years is 29.4% (NFHS-III: 42.5%) and severely underweight is 9.5% (NFHS-III: 15.8%).
