Solve 15 Supervision, management and record-keeping at Anganwadi centres questions for RAS/RPSC preparation.

Practice questions

Q1Which of the following supervisor responses to a field finding is INCORRECT?

A Faulty weighing scale — arrange repair or replacement
B Worker unable to plot measurements on the growth chart — provide training
C Repeated stock delays beyond the centre's control — escalate them to the project level
D Mothers not attending counselling — discontinue counselling for that area
Explanation

Low counselling attendance calls for corrective steps such as changing the timing, contacting families at home or seeking panchayat support; discontinuing the service is not corrective action. Repairing faulty equipment, training a worker who cannot plot measurements on the growth chart and escalating a supply delay beyond the centre's control are all appropriate responses to the stated gaps.

Q2Match List I with List II. List I: 1. Register 2. Report 3. Growth record 4. Stock register. List II: a. Summary sent upward, usually monthly b. Primary record maintained at the centre c. Dates and measurements used for monitoring d. Entries checked against physical balance. Which option gives the correct matching?

A 1-a, 2-b, 3-d, 4-c
B 1-b, 2-a, 3-c, 4-d
C 1-c, 2-d, 3-a, 4-b
D 1-d, 2-c, 3-b, 4-a
Explanation

A register is the primary centre-level record, whereas a report is a summary sent upward. Growth monitoring requires dates and measurements, and stock entries must be checked against the physical balance; therefore only option B matches all four pairs.

Q3Consider the following in relation to Poshan Tracker: 1. Beneficiary registration 2. Attendance recording 3. Supplementary nutrition reporting 4. Growth monitoring 5. Home-visit tracking 6. Replacing field verification. How many of the six are supported functions of Poshan Tracker?

A 3
B 5
C 4
D 6
Explanation

Poshan Tracker supports the first five functions: beneficiary registration, attendance, supplementary nutrition reporting, growth monitoring and home-visit tracking. It improves the speed and visibility of monitoring but does not replace field verification, so the sixth statement is not a supported function and the correct count is 5.

Q4Which statement correctly distinguishes a register from a report at an anganwadi centre?

A Both are identical primary records maintained only at the centre.
B A register is a primary record maintained at the centre, while a report is a summary sent upward on the basis of such records.
C A report is the primary record, while a register is prepared only after the report is approved.
D Once a report is prepared, checking the underlying registers is unnecessary.
Explanation

The register is the centre's primary evidence of beneficiaries and services, whereas the report summarises those records for submission to higher levels. A report neither becomes the primary record nor removes the need to check registers; inaccurate registers will also make the report inaccurate.

Q5How many of the following records are commonly maintained at an Anganwadi centre? 1. Attendance register 2. Stock register 3. Home visit record 4. Mothers' meeting record 5. Growth monitoring record

A Three
B Four
C Five
D Two
Explanation

All five listed records are commonly maintained at an Anganwadi centre. They document attendance, supplies, family contact, mothers' meetings and child growth, so the count is five.

10Consider the following statements about monitoring and evaluation at anganwadi centres: Statement I: Monitoring is continuous observation of work while it is being done. Statement II: Evaluation is a periodic judgement of whether objectives, outputs and outcomes have been achieved. Which option is correct?

ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct.
BOnly Statement I is correct.
COnly Statement II is correct.
DNeither Statement I nor Statement II is correct.

11During a centre visit, a supervisor finds that the Monthly Progress Report shows supplementary nutrition as fully distributed. Which action is the most appropriate before she accepts this figure?

AAccept it because every column in the report is filled
BMatch the distribution record with stock entries, physical balance and actual beneficiaries
CCheck only whether the report reached the sector office on time
DReplace the centre registers with the digital figure shown in the report

12An Anganwadi centre has 80 registered children below 6 years, and 60 of them were weighed during the month. What was the weighing coverage for that month?

A60%
B70%
C75%
D80%

13Assertion (A): A Monthly Progress Report is useful only when its figures are connected to field action. Reason (R): Reporting is a management tool, so a reported gap such as low weighing coverage should lead to identification of its cause and required action. Select the correct answer.

ABoth A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
BBoth A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
CA is true, but R is false.
DA is false, but R is true.

14Match each record check in List I with the evidence that should be examined in List II. List I 1. Attendance claim 2. Stock register entries 3. Growth monitoring record 4. Health referral entry List II P. Physical stock balance Q. Follow-up after referral R. Supplementary nutrition distribution S. Dates and measurements Choose the correct code.

A1-P, 2-R, 3-Q, 4-S
B1-R, 2-P, 3-S, 4-Q
C1-S, 2-Q, 3-P, 4-R
D1-Q, 2-S, 3-R, 4-P

15Assertion (A): Poshan Tracker can make service monitoring faster and more visible, but it does not remove the need for field verification. Reason (R): An incorrectly measured or wrongly identified child's weight can hide undernutrition or create a false alarm even when the entry appears in the digital system. Choose the correct option.

ABoth A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
BBoth A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
CA is true, but R is false
DA is false, but R is true
