RESUMEN
The evaluation of nutritional and immunization services was undertaken in the tribal ICDS block Kherwara (Rajasthan) by comparing the results of door to door surveys conducted on pretested schedules in six randomly selected Anganwadi Villages at the start (1983) and after completion of 4 years of the project (1987). A significant improvement (p less than 0.001) was found in nutritional status of children below 6 years of age. Except for BCG, the study revealed improved vaccination coverage. However, the achievements were far less than the targets laid under the National Health Policy. Concerted efforts are required to improve the services further for achieving the desired goals.
