7 Anganwadi centres in Mahendragarh to be renovated
Seven Anganwadi centres in Mahendragarh district are set to undergo significant renovations. An amount of Rs 49 lakh will be spent on these projects which will focus on renovation, upgrade and repair work. The Haryana State CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) Trust will fund these initiatives, as confirmed by a letter issued by the Additional Chief Executive Officer of the Trust in this respect.
This decision comes after recent representations made by residents of Mahendragarh district to Health Minister Arti Singh Rao, highlighting the dilapidated condition of several Anganwadi centre buildings, particularly those located in various villages and the bus stands in Narnaul city. Responding swiftly to these concerns, the Health Minister asked the Haryana State CSR Trust to provide necessary funds for the renovation and repair of the Anganwadi centres.
Thereafter, the Trust has sanctioned Rs 28.75 lakh for the renovation of Anganwadi centres in various locations, including Kalwadi, Kotiya villages under Kanina block, Khod and Tigra villages under Ateli block, Basai and Khudana villages under Mahendragarh block and Mohanpura village under Nangal Chaudhary block in the district. The funds will be utilised for laying tiles on the roof and floors, as well as for painting the walls.
Furthermore, a Rs 20 lakh grant has been allocated for the construction of a 10-m-wide 'five layer acrylic running track area' over 400 sq m area at Neerpur Rajput village under Ateli block. Besides, Rs 20 lakh has also been approved for modernising the Narnaul district library, which includes the installation of RO water systems, water coolers, new books, a digital display and general renovations.
Meanwhile, Health Minister Aarti Singh Rao said she wants the youth to enhance their knowledge by studying modern libraries etc. and achieve the path of success. “I am trying to provide all possible help to bring the youth of Rewari, Mahendragarh, Gurugram and other areas of South Haryana to the forefront in the field of education,” she added.
