Walking to the Anganwadi
Notes from the walks and visits to our Anganwadi in BR Hills and other nearby ones from 2020 to 2023
The walk, 2020 to 2022
In the context of COVID-19, the opening up of Anganwadis was (then) a major event… 11 Oct 2020
Super-excited about Anganwadi opening soon! Our soon-to-be-3 daughter’s enrolment at our neighbourhood Anganwadi at HosaPodu In brhills

So glad for Anganwadis remaining open; just dropped off the daughter who’s been looking forward; let’s hope they remain open

Picked up the daughter from our village Anganwadi recently “upgraded” with English teaching, toys & artwork! Kudos to open & public spaces and hope we continue celebrating and nurturing public services!

Misty trails: off to drop off the daughter to our village Anganwadi as Malabar Parakeets screech-celebrate the mist, and whistling thrush sings and the stubborn Indian Cuckoo’s quartet in the background

Thanks to Dr. Satyajit Hade, an artist-radiologist who painted this lovely picture of a photo I had recently shared of the daughter on the morning commute to our Anganwadi Thanks to Dr. Shridhar Kadam for sharing this with me!
What the Anganwadi became, 2022 to 2023
Archived for historical record. This investment into the HP Anganwadi never transalted largely due to micro-failures locally but underlying structural issues related to building ownership towards local level public goods in this setting

Kethe gowda from Muthugada Gadde presided over IndependeceDay2023 at the daughters school; my first one as a parent brimming with pride as the national anthem is sung;

In many of our Anganwadis and “private schools” often there are overly-generic posters of birds sometimes with obvious errors; time to have as localised bird knowledge and names in local languages in Anganwadis and educational institutions a (see @earlybirdncf) @MinistryWCD quoted post on X

Ultimately a lot of “nation-building” & nationalism needs to translate into celebrating health, life and future of all of us through health and wellness centres, anganwadis, schools
Anganwadis & childcare centres are where the foundation of our country’s future is being laid! quoted post on X
