‘Supporting Early Childhood Development for Bihar’s most marginalised communities’ Project continued with financial aid from Rizwan Adatia Foundation and technical support from Aga Khan Foundation (India) in order to extend best practices to neighbouring Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS)- government and ECD centres. Children between the age groups of 3 to 6 years from marginalised communities, particularly from scheduled caste and minority groups do not have adequate access to formal and informal quality of pre-primary learning opportunities. The project aims to improve the access to these children and provide the opportunity for quality pre-primary education, through provision of quality early childhood development programmes.
2 ECD centers (Sataanapatti and Fazilpur) are currently running with the full support of community. Hygiene Awareness campaigns in 4 ICDS centers of Pusa block were organized in collaboration with Health team of AKRSP(I). Carried out meetings and training of core committee of VSS of ECD centres and Parent Core Group of ICDS with an aim of sensitizing parents and community towards their roles and responsibilities of not only for betterment of their ward.
