A Study on the Existing Status of Anganwadi Centres in Now boicha Block of Lakhimpur District, Assam

Abstract

An Anganwadi centre is a courtyard playground centre that offers integrated services, including additional nutrition, vaccination, health check-up, recommendation services, pre-school education and health and nutrition education. It is a childcare centre located in the village and the area of the slums itself. In 1945, Tarabai Modak, who developed the Anganwadi centre concept in a coastal village in Thane district, believed that if children could not reach school, school should reach them. Since its formation, Anganwadi centres have been working for the overall upliftment of the children. The present research is made to study the existing status of Anganwadi Centres (AWC) in Nowboicha Block of Lakhimpur district of Assam. However, these pre primary schools give importance to develop the children's physical, mental and emotional growth and development. So through this study, the researcher will get a proper idea about the present conditions of the Anganwadi centres of the Nowboicha block of Assam especially between the years of 2021 and 2022.
