Scheme for Adolescent Girls

The Scheme for Adolescent Girls (SAG) was launched on June 1, 2018, to create a supportive environment for the self-development of adolescent girls aged 11-14 years who are out of school. The scheme aims to educate, empower, and make these girls self-reliant and aware citizens. It provides nutritional and non-nutritional services through Anganwadi Centers across the state. The nutritional component includes the provision of supplementary nutrition, while the non-nutritional services encompass health check-ups, life skills education, and guidance on accessing public services. The scheme is particularly significant in improving the nutritional and health status of these girls, especially during the global crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic, where take-home rations are provided in lieu of cooked meals.

• Supplementary nutrition for 300 days a year, providing 18-20 grams of protein and 600 calories per day
• Iron and Folic Acid supplementation
• Health check-ups and referral services
• Nutrition and health education
• Life skills education and home management training
• Support for transitioning back to formal schooling or vocational training
