The Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) Scheme is one of the Government of India's flagship programmes, and it is one of the world's largest and most innovative early childhood care and development programmes. Children's readiness to enter formal learning is the responsibility of pre-school education. It must be recognised as a requirement for children's healthy mental and emotional development. Rapid growth throughout the early stages of childhood necessitates the creation of an environment conducive to optimal development. The ICDS Program's primary activity is pre-school education. This focuses on a child's overall development up to the age of six. The purpose of this study was to assess the pre-school education provided by the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) through anganwadi facilities. Three blocks of Jammu district are selected for the purpose of this study.
