For Rural/Urban Projects:
Population norms No. of AWCs
400-800 - 1 AWC
800-1600 - 2 AWCs
1600-2400 - 3 AWCs
Thereafter in multiples of 800 - 1 AWC
For Mini-AWC

A total of 14 lakh AWCs have been sanctioned to various States/UTs across the country and these include about 1.32 lakh AWCs located in the urban areas. A statement showing state-wise details is enclosed as Annexure-I. As on 31.03.2020, 13.81 lakh AWCs (rural and urban) are operational.
(b) As per the data captured through the ICDS Monitoring Information System, about 26% AWCs (rural and urban) are running in rented buildings. A statement showing the State/UT-wise details is enclosed as Annexure-II.
(c) & (d)States/UTs have indicated difficulties in providing land for construction of AWC buildings especially in the urban areas. However, in order to ensure continued implementation of the scheme, Government has made provision for taking the AWC buildings on rent for which the monthly rentals have been increased to Rs.1000/- in the rural areas, Rs 4000/- in the urban areas and Rs.6000/- in the metropolitan cities. In addition, this Ministry has requested all State Governments/UT Administrations to co-locate those AWCs, which are running in rented premises without basic facilities, to the nearby primary schools in the same habitation.
