Creches and Day care Center Scheme

This was started in 1975 to provide day care services for children below 5 years. It caters mainly to the children of casual, migrant, agricultural and construction labourers. The programme is mainly custodial in nature, where some amount of training is given to the workers to strengthen early childhood stimulation.
