On April 15, the Anganwadi centre in Ullal was inaugurated, alongside nine others virtually across Bengaluru, marking a vibrant step forward for early childhood care. Through a collaboration between Saamuhika Shakti partners Sparsha Trust and WaterAid India, and the Directorate of Women and Child Development (DWCD), the centres now feature safe learning spaces, improved WASH infrastructure, and new teaching materials – benefiting families, especially from waste-picking communities.
As DWCD Deputy Director Sidramappa noted at the event, these upgraded centres now offer quality education “as good as any convent school.”
