WHEN a district gets new Anganwadi Centres (AWCs), an increase in enrolment and attendance of children is expected.

- EJAZ KAISER @Raipur

However, in Ambikapur of northern Chhattisgarh, approximately 300km from state capital Raipur, the situation paints a far less encouraging picture at several pre-school learning facilities.

Over the past three years, 70 new Anganwadi Centres have been established in Ambikapur. Ironically, the region has witnessed a drop in attendance of over 14,000 children, highlighting a concerning trend. The absenteeism appears to stem from parents' concerns over dilapidated infra and poorly sheltered facilities at many AWCs.
