The Women and Child Development department has issued an order for inspection of all anganwadi buildings in the State. Child development project officers (CDPOs)/ICDS (Integrated Child Development Scheme) supervisors should directly inspect all such buildings functioning, a circular issued by the department has said.
The circular points out that many anganwadis are functioning from buildings that do not have fitness certificates.
This is despite directions that all anganwadis should be inspected before April 10 every year and a certificate from the officials concerned that the building is suited for the functioning of anganwadis be issued. It should be ensured that no anganwadi is allowed to function from a building without fitness certificate.
