The study was undertaken during 2011–12 with the objective to study the leadership effectiveness of supervisors of integrated child development services ICDS. The sample for the study comprised 60 supervisors 30 each from home science and non-home science background selected from four districts of Karnataka namely Belgaum, Dharwad, Gadag and Haveri. A significantly higher range was visible for leadership effectiveness among home science supervisors over non-home science supervisors. Majority of the non-home science supervisors fell in the medium leadership effectiveness category. Most of the home science supervisors (93.33%) were good listeners and good counselors; all of them (53.33%) were in the medium range followed by higher leadership effectiveness category. Most of the non-home science supervisors (73.33%) were in medium followed by lower leadership effectiveness.
