INTRODUCTION:
An “anganwadi” means a ‘courtyard shelter’ in India. The
system of anganwadis was developed in 1975 by the Indian government to
alleviate malnutrition in children. The anganwadis provide meals each day to
the slum children under 6 years old but also provide lessons in health and
hygiene and literacy in a nurturing preschool environ ment.
Typical anganwadis are run for a few hours a day in local houses but are
often overcrowded, sweltering in summer and have little or no light or
ventilation, making it impossible for the children to learn.
Health and education are the two most important factors for the development of a
healthy society. No nation can deny these factors. Major stakeholders of the society
are children and women, which is why it is very important to create a healthy
society. This can be accomplished by focusing more on malnourished children and
maternal health. The role of a social intuition is very important in addressing such issues.
To fulfill the objective of ‘HEALTHY MOTHER, HEALTHY CHILD’, Manav Sadhna is actively
associated with the ICDS department of the Govt. of Gujarat since 2004-2005. Since then,
Manav Sadhna has done extensive and effective work towards reducing the rate of
malnutrition among infants and maternal mortality through our 79 preschools. In 2014-
2015, Manav Sadhna along with the ICDS program created a meaningful impact in the
community through their referral services.

Problem Identification and the Cause of the


Problem:
Typical anganwadis are run for a few hours a day in local houses but are often

overcrowded, sweltering in summer and have little or no light or ventilation, making it

impossible for the children to learn . Anganwadis lack good mentors and govt. don’t usually

pay mentors enough so that mentors can pour their heart out and teach moral values to
children at their best. Major problem I found was, the amount of time children were

spending in anganwadis was about 3-4 hours and they were learning nothing at that time.

They were spending their time in just playing games and fighting and no one was worried

or caring about that.

Objectives of Anganwadi and my


Project:
1. Provide nutrition to underprivileged children ages 0 to 6 years

2. Foster the mental, physical, and emotional development of

the children.

3. Improve the health of pregnant and feeding mothers.

4. Promote awareness on health, hygiene, and nutrition to these

pregnant and feeding mothers.

5. Give immunizations.

6. Network between various government departments involved

in the ICDS to ensure communication and a united vision.


Steps I took to achieve the
Objectives:
1. While I was there in Anganwadi I saw children eating what they were getting
as of they haven’t eaten anything from past few days. So while they were
having their lunch I tried to teach them about the benefits of eating healthy and
how eating healthy can play an important role in development of their body
and also encouraged other workers to do the same.

2. In 2019 it is important to be mentally prepare to handle any type of

conditions and when we see government not taking any steps like
introducing mental, physical and emotional development subjects it
hurts. So I taught kids and workers (coming over there and about
physical mental upcoming challenges in life. How they need to tackle
situations.

3. Campaign about gender equality: I did door-to-door campaign to create


3.Campaign about gender equality: I did door-to-door campaign to create awareness

regarding gender equality, Tried to explain regarding sex ratio and why it is important

for well ness of society.

4. Most Important one was, I Tried to EXPLAIN peoples over there regarding

cleanliness. One important thing that I was able to spread awareness regarding need

of cleanliness in our society. That was only things kids over there were willing to listen

about and that was nice, after that we all did clean the dust in the whole anganwadi

and did that on daily basis as first thing.

EFFECTIVENESS OF PROJECT:
Children realized that they need to keep their place &

surrounding clean daily.

First thing we all were doing daily was gathering at a point and start wiping the dust

out of anganwadi and started throwing all poly bags and all in dustbins. Students

were conscious about keeping their sitting area neat and clean.

After that sweepers were very happy and were saying this is the nice impact on kids.

And a must practice responsibility in daily life.

We shall continue to create awareness among students which will assure them that

they need to keep the class room and surrounding clean on daily basis along with

instructions given by the class teachers daily.


CONCLUSION
Cleaning is not a work which we should do forcefully. And when those little kids realized about

need of swachh bharat ! my task was over because this is the one of those things which children

under 6 can understand the most and if he or she follows or practice for rest of their lives. They

can make a big impact on society.

A person might be an expert in any field of knowledge or a master of many material skills and

accomplishments. But without inner cleanliness his brain is a desert waste. -Sri Sathya Sai Baba.

1. Whenever you are in public places like bus stop, bus, footpath of the road etc, you may
buy something to eat. After eating, try to find a dustbin. If there is no dustbin, keep that
in your bag. As a preparatory activity, you need to have a plastic cover in your bag as a
dustbin. When you find a dustbin, throw it. Friends accompanying you will surely notice
this and it will make an impact

2. Whenever you go for a walk or jogging in the park or ground, make it a habit to pick at
least 2–3 wrappers or bottles thrown on the area and put it in the dustbin. People who
come for jogging will surely notice this and will have lasting impact which might prompt
them to follow as mind will be fresh in the morning.

3. Clean your surroundings both in anganwadi and home. The word spreads that you are
very particular about cleanliness and your subordinates will remember cleanliness
whenever they see you and try to inculcate at least to please you.

This is what I tried to teach those kids and implemented these things as well . Will for
sure visit over there next year.
