NOTE: Total CNCP cases pending with the CWCs during the quarter includes cases pending with the CWCs on the first day of the quarter as well as fresh/new cases brought before the CWCs during the quarter:

• There has been improvement in reporting on the indicator from the districts through the quarters. While in October 2013, only 23 districts reported on the current pendency before CWCs, in April-June 2015, only 8 districts did not report on current pendency. Besides, gap in gender disaggregated reporting sometimes gives inconsistent and invalid results.

• Patna has consistently reported highest number of CNCP cases pending with the CWCs across all the quarters.
