Subsequently, the family members of the woman complained to the authorities. Yet, they failed to provide prominent proof that the egg was supplied by Anganwadi itself. 

This is solid proof of the incident that the Governmental schemes do not reach the commoners. The photos of the rotten egg are currently getting viral on social media. It’s a tragedy that none are held responsible for such incidents. It is prominent to note that, this is an Integrated Child development services scheme, running in the state for the past three decades.
