Modality of food transfer, uptake of services and low birth weight: Evidence from Integrated Child Development Services in India
The importance of nutrition during the first 1,000 days of life, including in utero, the scope of food transfers as social safety net for pregnant women, and the limited evidence on relative effectiveness of food transfer modality on birth outcomes motivates this study. In 2013, in undivided Andhra...

| description | The importance of nutrition during the first 1,000 days of life, including in utero, the scope of food transfers as social safety net for pregnant women, and the limited evidence on relative effectiveness of food transfer modality on birth outcomes motivates this study. In 2013, in undivided Andhra Pradesh (AP)—now AP and Telangana—monthly take-home rations (THR) consisting of ready-to-cook food were replaced with daily provision of hot, cooked meals (HCM) consisting of milk and eggs, amongst other foods, for pregnant women as a part of a supplementary nutrition program of Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) in India. I used a difference-in-difference model on India’s National Family Health Survey to compare the impact of food transfer modality via THR and HCM, on low birth weight ( |
