Deadlock over Anganwadi services in Ganjam village continues

BERHAMPUR: For the last 13 months, the anganwadi centre at Kujidhepa village in Ganjam district has failed to deliver the basic services meant for the kids, thanks to a conflict between the Anganwadi Workers’ Association and the villagers.

So complex is the matter that even the intervention of the district administration has failed to resolve the crisis.

Kujidhepa village has around 200 families, with a total population of over 600. The anganwadi centre used to provide essential maternal and child care, nutritional support, and health guidance to four pregnant women, 15 children in the age group of seven months to 3 years, 20 children aged 3 to 6 years and 23 adolescent girls.
