The government is poised to unveil new guidelines designed to enhance early childhood care and education (ECCE) by integrating Anganwadis with schools, according to an official statement released ahead of the announcement.

The Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD) is collaborating with the Department of School Education & Literacy (DoSE&L) to introduce the Guidelines on Co-location of Anganwadi Centres with Primary Schools. The guidelines will be launched this coming Wednesday.

This significant initiative, deemed crucial for building human capital, will be inaugurated by Union Ministers Annapurna Devi and Dharmendra Pradhan.
