PLAYGROUP / AANGANWADI

   PLAYGROUP/Anganwadi Project Synopsis

Introduction:

A project of a Playgroup/Anganwadi for kids between 2 to 6 years old is discussed below.

It is a place where kids between the ages of 18 months and 6 years meet to play under the supervision of a senior baby care person.

PLAYGROUP/Anganwadi has the following advantages:

When children stay and play together, their growth is better in the following fields:

• Emotional growth
• Personal growth
• Curiosity growth

Skill Development in     PLAYGROUP/Anganwadi:

In Playgroup, children play under the supervision of experts. Hence Playgroup provides a safe and well-built environment for the following skills:

• Perfect command of correct words
• Good communication skills
• Good friendship skills
• Nice interaction skills in a group.

   PLAYGROUP/Anganwadi startup:

You can plan to start a Playgroup. If possible, start as a franchise of established education centres.

In urban cities in middle-level communities’ husbands and wives, remain busy with their job. Hence, they are in shortage of time to care for their child. Thus, there is a demand for playgroups.

You can also start a Playgroup for construction labourers’ children. In the labour community husband and wife, both are labourers throughout the day, hence their children’s growth is erratic.

FEASIBILITY STUDY OF PLAYGROUP PROJECT

Present status of Nursery Education in Madhya Pradesh state of India:

Anganwadi:

Anganwadi a Hindi synonym of Playschool was started in India in 1975. As a part of the public health care system, the Integrated Child Development Service Program was created. The basic aim of the centre was to control hunger and malnutrition.

Anganwadi Centers, Beneficiaries and Funds Released under the Scheme

As per the news of the year 2023 MP Government is recruiting more manpower for Aanganwadi.https://icdsupweb.org/mp-anganwadi-bharti/

Shortage of resources by the Government is one of the leading causes of demand not being fulfilled.

As per the UNICEF  study in MP, the physical and mental growth condition of 3.3 million children is below the bare minimum level needed for life.  2.7 million children’s physical and mental health is of no use now like suffering from paralysis  etc.,

POSHAN Abhiyan:

The MP State has initiated the implementation of the POSHAN Abhiyan mission to meet the need for Nutrition. It is to take care of such a critical condition of society,

As per DATA analysis, there exists a huge Playgroup potential in backward areas of the MP.

Macrolevel assessment of financial Feasibility

• As per Press Information Bureau, Government of India
  Ministry of Women and Child Development            Expenses per child are rupees 6to7 per day.
• As per Google to cover 1000 population one Aanganwadi is needed.
