Uttar Pradesh plans to move 15,613 anganwadi centres onto school campuses
Published
Uttar Pradesh set an August 15 target to move 15,613 anganwadi centres operating near government schools onto school premises, according to Khabar Lahariya. The relocation links early-childhood services more closely with the school network. The supplied report does not explain whether every campus has suitable rooms, sanitation or arrangements for children and workers during the move.
Why it matters
Anganwadi centres provide nutrition, preschool learning and maternal support. Moving thousands of centres could improve coordination with schools, but inadequate space or rushed implementation could disrupt services for young children.
Evidence assessment
Khabar Lahariya supplies the number of centres, the relocation plan and its deadline. No government order, district readiness data or beneficiary response accompanies the report.
Medium confidence — A specific local report supports the announced scale and deadline, while operational details and primary documentation remain missing.
