Realizing the great importance of bringing improvement in children and women’s health and nutritional status, Integrated Child Development Services (ICSD) Scheme was launched on 2^nd October 1975. The scope of present study is to evaluate the community participation in ICDS programme. In order to achieve the objectives of the present study, Out of the fifteen districts covered by the Malwa region Barnala, Mansa, Bathinda, Sangrur, Moga, Muktsar, Fridkot and Ludhiana has been chosen for the study. A total of 40 villages (05 from each chosen district) were selected on the basis of random. From each village Anganwadi Worker and village Sarpanch were selected for study. Thus a total of 40 Anganwadi Workers and 40 Villages Sarpanch was in the sample, from all 40 villages which were having Anganwadi for at least the last 25 years. It was disappointing to find that a majority (62.50%) of the AWWs did not receive any help from anyone in running the AWCs at village level. It was also found that a majority (57.50%) of the village Sarpanches did not visit the AWCs at all. A high majority (97.50%) village Sarpanches answered that there was no local committee formed to help the AWWs to conduct different activities and again a high majority (97.50%) village Sarpanches admitted that there was no organization at the village level to help the AWWs. In this regard, it is recommended that the training of project ICDS functionaries should be strengthened to impart them specific skills to elicit community participation and also need to have a short duration preparation phase to raise awareness of the community regarding ICDS services.
