An Exploratory Study to Assess the Knowledge and Attitude of Anganwadi Workers regarding their Job Responsibilities in Selected Blocks of Ludhiana, Punjab
Abstract: Anganwadi workers (AWWs) play a pivotal role in the delivery of community-based health and nutrition services under the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme. Their knowledge and attitude towards job responsibilities directly influence the effectiveness of service delivery. The present study was undertaken to assess the knowledge and attitude of AWWs regarding their job responsibilities in a selected block of Ludhiana, Punjab. An exploratory research design was adopted. A total of 100 AWWs were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and attitude scale. Findings revealed that majority of AWWs possessed moderate knowledge, while their attitude towards job responsibilities was generally positive. The study highlights the need for periodic training and supportive supervision to enhance their role performance.
