An anganwadi centre in Melaghar has been operating without a dedicated teacher for the past four months, prompting authorities to assign a worker from a nearby centre to manage both facilities. The arrangement, however, has reportedly affected pre-school education and daily activities at both centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The issue has surfaced from Madhucharan Para in Dasrathbari ADC Village under the jurisdiction of Melaghar police station. According to local residents, two anganwadi centres function within a radius of nearly one kilometre \u2014 one at Madhucharan Para and another at Pal Para.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Villagers alleged that the Banka Bari anganwadi centre has remained without a regular worker for the past four months due to what they termed an administrative lapse in the Social Welfare and Social Education Department. In the absence of a full-time teacher, the Child Development Project Officer (CDPO) office in Melaghar reportedly directed Pushparani Debnath, the anganwadi worker at Pal Para, to oversee operations at both centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Residents claim that managing two centres simultaneously has created significant practical challenges. They said regular teaching, nutritional distribution, and other child-centric activities are being hampered as one individual cannot be physically present at both locations at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOne person cannot effectively run two anganwadi centres in a single day. The children\u2019s learning process is bound to suffer,\u201d a local villager remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Efforts to obtain comments from officials of the Social Welfare and Social Education Department were unsuccessful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Villagers have urged the department to expedite the appointment process and post a regular anganwadi worker at the Banka Bari centre without further delay to ensure uninterrupted educational and welfare services for enrolled children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
