“Care for the underprivileged
children is very close to my heart” says Anil Agarwal, Chairman of Vedanta
Group. “No child in India should remain malnourished and be deprived of
nutrition, health and primary education” is what his vision is. In this process
Vedanta initiated adoption of government run Anganwadis in the year 2008. The
intervention was for a limited period, benefiting children in age-group of 0-6
years.
In year 2015, Hindustan Zinc
signed the MoU with Government of Rajasthan to strengthen 3055 Anganwadis of
the ICDS Department in 5 districts i.e. Udaipur, Rajsamand, Chittorgarh,
Bhilwara and Ajmer of Rajasthan under its flagship project “Khushi” in 2
phases.
Last year under “Khushi”
project, Hindustan Zinc reached out to 2295 Anganwadi centres in 5 districts of
Rajasthan in phase 1.
As part of Phase 2, on 29th
June, 2017, Hindustan Zinc with partner NGO – Seva Mandir has now included 264
Anganwadi centres in Kotra Tehsil of Udaipur district and this year, the
company will be covering more than 760 Anganwadi centres in Udaipur district of
Rajasthan. The Chief Guest of the event was Ms. Taru Surana – Dy. Director,
ICDS, Udaipur District who unveiled “Khushi” Board to initiate the program.
During the program, Ms. Taru said “Anganwadi program will be strengthened with
the intervention of Hindustan Zinc to improve attendance, health and the well-being
