The THR is one of the components of the Supplementary Nutrition Programme, which forms part of the Centrally-sponsored Integrated Child Development Services. The scheme's main aim is to supplement nutritional requirements of children aged between six months and three years, pregnant and lactating mothers and out-of-school adolescent girls (OOSAGs) aged between 11 and 14 years.

During the period when the irregularities have been detected in the scheme, the state was ruled by the Kamal Nath-led Congress and the Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led BJP.
