 +===== A real story =====
 +
 +Sunita's village AWC in rural Bihar hadn't given hot meals for 8 weeks. Children went hungry.
 +
 +She filed RTI to **CDPO Saharsa Block**. **15 days later** CDPO replied: AWW honorarium pending; SNP grain shipment delayed; corrective action taken. Hot meals resumed week later.
 +
 +===== Statute =====
 +- **ICDS Operational Guidelines** (latest 2022 — Mission Saksham Anganwadi & Poshan 2.0).
 +- **National Food Security Act 2013 §4-5** — pregnant/lactating + 6mo-6yr children entitled to free food.
 +- §6(1) + §7(1) + §7(5) RTI Act.
 +

 +===== Common scenarios =====
 +- SNP grain not received — supply chain RTI.
 +- AWW absent — replacement procedure.
 +- Immunisation skipped — ANM/MCH coordination.
 +- Pre-school not happening — accountability log.
 +- Beneficiary not added → §4 NFSA challenge.
 +
 +===== Case law =====
 +- **//PUCL v. UoI// (Right to Food, ongoing)** — SC on AWC service obligations.
 +- **//Anjali Bhardwaj v. UoI// (2018)** — §4(1)(b)(xii) suo motu beneficiary lists.
 +- CIC //ICDS v. MWCD// (2017) — disclosure of state-wise service gaps.
 +
 +===== FAQs =====
 +==== AWC closed regularly — escalation? ====
 +CDPO → DPO → State Department of Women & Child Development.
 +==== AWW/AWH honorarium delayed — workers' RTI? ====
 +Yes — separate RTI by AWW.
 +==== Cooked meal vs take-home ration? ====
 +Per state — ask local norms.
 +
 +===== Conclusion =====
 +AWC = first line of child nutrition. RTI fixes service gaps in the village.
