Following the Supreme Court directions, the State government has decided to soon open anganwadi centres, Minister for Women and Child Development Shashikala Jolle has said.
Ms. Jolle told presspersons on Wednesday that the apex court had ordered the State government to open anganwadi centres after consulting the State Disaster Management Authority and experts in the field.
Anganwadi centres would be opened by asking children to attend on rotation. “If there are 20 children in a centre, five children will be asked to come per day on rotation,” she said.
Functioning of all anganwadi centres came to a sudden halt and poor pregnant and lactating women and children were left in the lurch during COVID-19, said a petition in the Supreme Court.
