Laughter, song and dance, or children scampering about is nothing new in anganwadis. Now, the young ones have for company some grizzled, lined faces, courtesy the Nedumangad block panchayat. Grandparents can accompany their grandchildren to anganwadis as part of the block panchayat’s 3-G anganwadi project.
The 3-G anganwadi project is a model initiative of the block panchayat that aims at providing anganwadi services to three generations – children, adolescents, and the elderly.
Block panchayat president V. Ambili said the 3-G anganwadi project ensures mental recreation and physical health of children and the elderly. Smart classrooms have been arranged for the children. Colourful wall paintings and new study equipment too have been made available.
