Explanation:

Minister for Women and Child Development informed Lok Sabha about the Kishori Health Cards. Most of the States are maintaining Kishori Health Cards for Adolescent Girls in Angawadi Centres (AWCs) to record the information about the weight, height, Body Mass Index (BMI) along with other services provided under the scheme. These health cards for all Adolescent Girls (AGs) are maintained at the AWCs. Government is implementing Scheme for Adolescent Girls across the country.
