Thus , a child can score a maximum of 20 points on adaptive behavior.Table 7.11: Distribution of children aged 5-5.5 years by quartiles on overall scoring on adaptivebehavior according to gender of the child(Percentage)Quartiles onoverall scoringon adaptivebehaviorTotal Janjgir and korbaControl district (Raigarh)Intervention AWCs Intermediate AWCs Control AWCsMale Female Total Male Female Total Male Female Total(n=) 192 194 386 232 172 404 240 218 45875% 20.8 22.2 21.5 15.5 25.6 19.8 21.7 28.4 24.9Table 7.12: Distribution of children aged 5-5.5 years by quartiles on overall scoring on adaptivebehavior according to caste(Percentage)Quartiles on overallTotal Janjgir and korbaControl district (Raigarh)scoring on adaptive Intervention AWCs Intermediate AWCs Control AWCsbehaviorSC ST OBC SC ST OBC SC ST OBC(n=) 77 105 197 67 133 191 148 76 22775% 13 31.4 19.8 11.9 18.8 23 30.4 21.1 22.5• Slightly over 60 percent of the children have scored more than 50% marks (out of 20)on adaptive behavior in intervention districts. The proportion of such children is 78percent in control district. Thus children in control district are better in overall scoringon adaptive behavior. There is no differences between intervention and intermediateAWCs (Table 7.11).• Female children are marginally better in overall scoring on adaptive behavior inintervention districts than other children. There is no gender differentials in controldistrict (Table 7.11).• ST and OBC children are marginally better in overall scoring on adaptive behavior in allcategories of AWCs than SC children (Table 7.12).Baseline Study Of Early Childhood Care And Development Project In ChattisgarhApril,2012
