A study was carried out in 200 AWCs from rural areas of Akluj block of Maharashtra state .Out of 200 AWWs, 50 AWWs were selected for capacity building intervention .With the help of adapted standardized tool and self-devised rating scale, data is obtained with regard to learning /play aids, programme schedule and class arrangement in ICDS AWCs and knowledge level of AWWS. Results showed that most of the centers were lacking in the availability of outdoor space, equipment’s and materials for outdoor and indoor play, consequently reflected its use too. The quality of classroom environment i.e. Class arrangement, Age appropriateness of activities , Weekly/Daily schedule and Child produced display in AWCs reflected poor quality in most of the AWCs except for the parameter of class display. Statistically significant difference in the pre and post score on knowledge level of AWWs was noticed in using available learning /plays aids, planning programme schedule and making class arrangement in ICDS AWCs.
