This initiative, jointly organized by 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 (𝗖𝗟𝗥) 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗖𝗗𝗦 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, brought together 𝟮𝟬𝟬+ CDPOs, supervisors, and Anganwadi workers from across the district , creating a powerful platform for learning, reflection, and action.

We were honored to have Dr.Rita Patnaik, Regional Director at the Savitribai Phule National Institute of Women and Child Development, as the Chief Guest. Her insights on ECE curriculum and school readiness set a strong foundation for the day.

We were also privileged by the presence of Mr. Dattatray Munde, Divisional Deputy Commissioner, Nagpur Division and Dr. Kailash Ghodke, District Program Officer, Nagpur

A thought-provoking panel discussion featuring Dr. Rita Patnaik, Dr. Kailash Ghodke, and Dr. Sufia Azamat focused on:
✔️ Strengthening ECE curriculum implementation
✔️ Addressing on-ground challenges
✔️ Defining district-level strategies for school readiness

What made the conclave truly impactful was the direct interaction with supervisors and high-performing Anganwadi workers, ensuring that conversations stayed rooted in field realities.

Over the past 2.5 years, CLR, in partnership with ICDS departments across Pune, Nashik, and Nagpur, has:
🔹 Established 60 Model (Hub) Anganwadis
🔹 Strengthened 600 Spoke Anganwadis

This conclave marked a critical step forward as we collectively explored:
🔹 Sustaining the Model Anganwadi approach
🔹 Upgrading Anganwadis towards quality benchmarks
🔹 Scaling learnings across the district ecosystem

The journey ahead is about institutionalizing quality, empowering frontline workers, and ensuring every child is truly school-ready.
Grateful to all partners, officials, and field functionaries who made this possible.
