As many as 11,185 centres have their own buildings and another 12,174 were functioning in the buildings without rent, while 12,219 centres were running in rented buildings, they said. The State government as a means to strengthen Anganwadi centres was operating them in the government primary schools premises.

The move comes in wake of the government’s efforts to extend nursery education apart from providing nutritious food through Anganwadi centres. This will help students prepare for primary education after completing nursery, they said.
