Mangal Pandey, CEO of Key Education Foundation, strongly advocates the transformation of India’s operational Anganwadi Centres. While these centers provide vital nutrition and healthcare for marginalized sections, there is a need to prioritize early education. With specialized training, improved infrastructure, and pedagogy, we can rebrand these centers as vibrant learning spaces. Government intervention, capacity building, involving parents, effective monitoring, and incentives will play a crucial role in achieving this transformation, ensuring that Anganwadi Centres contribute significantly to preparing children for school by 2030. Together, we can empower the future generation of India through high-quality early childhood education.
