Deputy CM Manish Sisodia inaugurates 101 Anganwadi centres across Delhi

Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia inaugurated 101 modern Anganwadi Hub centres across Delhi, as part of the ongoing reforms in the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) programme, on Monday.

The main programme was organised at a Hub centre in Okhla. Inaugurations of 100 other centres were done by the respective area MLAs.

"We recognise that care for children starts from the time when they are in their mother's wombs and the learning starts from the day they are born. Our 10,000 plus Anganwadi centres are the platform to provide this care and learning. The first six years, when our children are at our Aanganwadis, are the most critical years as the foundation of a healthy, happy and curious child, who is eager to learn, is laid in these years," Sisodia said.

Earlier this month, the government also finished training of Anganwadi Workers under its new early childhood education curriculum (ECE).
