MP to Transform 20 Anganwadis Per District
The government of Madhya Pradesh is making special Anganwadis called 'Model Anganwadis' in every district.
Each district will have 20 of these special Anganwadis.
These Anganwadis will have colorful and attractive facilities for children, including places to play, grow vegetables, and learn about health.
The money for this project will come from donations and corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds.
In Ujjain, 1,000 Anganwadis will be transformed before a big event called Simhastha in 2028.
The first phase will focus on Anganwadis near the Mahakal temple.
In Bhopal, eight Anganwadis have already been transformed, and 100 more are planned.
