OUR CORRESPONDENT

SIVASAGAR: In line with the Prime Minister’s vision of celebrating 75 years of India’s Independence through the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, Energy Maharatna ONGC, under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, has supported the development of 75 model Anganwadi Centres across four states—Jharkhand, Assam, Nagaland, and Andhra Pradesh.

Going beyond traditional designs, these upgraded centres are equipped with modern facilities and sustainable features that aim to improve health, hygiene, and educational standards. In Assam, 28 centres located in Sivasagar, Jorhat, and Cachar districts have been provided with smart TVs, pen drives, and Bluetooth speakers pre-loaded with educational and awareness content. These digital tools are helping Anganwadi workers communicate government schemes more effectively and promote pre-natal and post-natal care.

The newly developed Anganwadi Centres are now fully operational and have been officially handed over to the respective local communities. They have been thoughtfully designed to support the holistic development of children up to six years of age while also providing care for pregnant and lactating mothers and serving the overall community.

With a total financial outlay of around Rs 5 crore, the project was executed by The Citizens Foundation. A formal handover ceremony was held recently in Sivasagar, marking the successful culmination of the initiative. The event was attended by Rizwana Naqvi, GGM and Head of HR, ONGC, and the Child Development Project Officer (CDPO) of Sivasagar.
