Former MLA Yathindra Siddaramaiah on Friday inaugurated Koosina Mane crèche for the children of migrant workers and MGNREGA workers at the old government school building near Thandavapura Gram Panchayat in Nanjangud taluk.
Crèche in rural areas have become important since the parents go to work and the child’s safety and nurturing needs to be looked after in a proper surrounding. Therefore, the concept of Koosina Mane gains importance, he said.
The facility will also look into the nutritional requirements of the children who are brought to the Koosina Mane child home for care. More employment opportunities are being provided to women in rural areas under MGNREGA. In such a scenario, Koosina Mane needs to be encouraged and expanded.
