A recent study exposes the harsh realities of Anganwadi centres in resettlement colonies of Perumbakkam, Navalur and Gudapakkam and the lack of adequate schools in the vicinity.
Many balwadis in the Perumbakkam resettlement colony have no power, no play equipment and in some centres, not even a teacher who can help the kids learn. This is a gross violation of ICDS norms.
No playground, no fire exits, no proper washrooms and sometimes, no teachers either. That’s how kids from families in the Perumbakkam resettlement colony study, in a primary school operating from residential flats.
