Event  to  highlight the release of a ‘Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)’ on Anganwadi Cum Crèches

Will also include sessions on Maternity Benefit Act (Implementation, Challenges and Way Forward), inclusion of Crèches in Corporate Social responsibility (CSR), and Establishment of Crèches in Government Institutions.The Government of India has taken steps to support women’s education and skill development, leading to more women joining the workforce. To help women enter the workforce, there’s a need for good child care services. Anganwadi centres are India’s largest childcare institutions, dedicated to providing essential care and support to children, extending their services to include Anganwadi cum Crèche (AWCC) under Mission Shakti.

AWCC aims to offer quality crèche facilities, nutrition, health, and cognitive development for children aged 6 months to 6 years, ensuring their well-being in a safe environment. Palna, a part of Mission Shakti, provides day care and protection to children. The Ministry has prepared a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to guide the scheme’s administration, including instructions, overview, hierarchy, infrastructure, and monitoring protocols.

 

During the 15th Finance Cycle, 17,000 AWCCs were planned to be set up. As of October 31, 2023, 5222 AWCCs have been approved, and 2412 standalone crèches aided by the government are operational. Panel discussions involving experts from various fields are being held to address topics like the care economy’s importance and interventions in implementing day care centres/crèches.
