Grant operationalised
October 2009
Duration
2 years
Grant amount sanctioned
Rs7.05 million

Activities within the grant and expected impact:
The project is towards strengthening the quality of all (43) Anganwadis in two clusters (Kothale and Waghale) in Nandurbar block and initiation of eight Balbhavans for providing academic support to children studying in primary schools.

The key components of the project are:
Resource support for improving early childhood education (ECE) in select Anganwadis
Local implementing organisation for Anganwadi intervention in Nandurbar block
Balbhavans: Out-of-school academic support centres for primary school children.

Successful implementation is expected to result into:
Development of 45 per cent (20) Anganwadis as model Anganwadis
Overall enhancement in educational inputs provided in majority of the Anganwadis in two clusters
Outreach work with the community leading to increased awareness on the importance of ECE and steady growth in use of the resource centres
Statistically significant improvement in learning levels of primary school-going children attending Balbhavans (academic support centres), as against the baseline, resulting in ability to read unseen text with understanding, expression through writing and basic mathematical operations.
