Abstract: This study analyses the impact of supplementary nutrition provided through ICDS on intakes of calories, proteins, vitamin A and iron among young children in Bihar. The analysis is based on 24-hour dietary recall data collected for 320 children in four villages in rural Bihar in 2013, and uses matching methods to estimate impact. [Working Paper No. 257].
