Anganwadi Centers
With basic education and childcare still inaccessible to millions of rural Indians, Anganwadi centers, which serve as "courtyard shelters" of each locality, have been playing an important role in development. These Anganwadi centers provide supplementary nutrition, non-formal preschool education, nutrition and health education, immunization, health checkups, and referral services.
Bharatiyam's Intervention
Bharatiyam's intervention strategy in livelihoods started with Balahita, an initiative of adopting 52 Anganwadi Centers in Karimnagar Out of these 52 centers, 26 of them are in rural areas and 26 are in urban areas. Bharatiyam has a three-pronged approach to ensure that all allocated funds achieve the highest possible results.
1. Clearly Define Objectives
- Increase the attendance of students coming into Anganwadi centers.
