Varadhoor: The district’s first anganwadi-cum-creche has begun functioning at the Varadhoor anganwadi. Children aged six months to three years will be admitted to the creche and shifted to the anganwadi after turning three.

The facility will function from 7.30 AM to 7 PM, with services managed by workers and helpers in shifts. A medicine kit, pre-school kit and toys have been arranged to ensure a safe and nurturing environment for children, thereby enabling their mothers to work without worry.
