Bhubaneswar: Top performing anganwadi centres in Odisha will be converted into Gyan Kendras. The Women and Child Development Department has taken a decision in this regard.
The Gyan Kendras will function as model learning centres for anganwadi workers to improve their skills.
Each sector, consisting of a group of anganwadi centers within a block, will see the upgrading of two anganwadi centers into Gyan Kendras. These centers will serve as hubs where anganwadi workers from nearby areas can enhance their skills in delivering quality services and promoting the holistic development of children.
Selection of these centers will be based on a performance evaluation scorecard developed by the department.
Anganwadi centers scoring a minimum of 90 marks in the evaluation encompassing infrastructure, kitchen gardens, teaching-learning materials, and other essential aspects will be prioritized for upgradation in the initial phase.
