In his essay titled ‘Early childhood education in urban Anganwadis,’ Atul Gaikwad discusses how we can use the ICDS system effectively to cater to the educational needs of young children from marginalized social groups living in urban areas.

In this piece, you find insights and learnings from discussions that took place in various thematic groups (such as those on ‘Artful Thinking’ and ‘Literacy Learning in a Multilingual’).

Drawing upon their engagement with parents in early childhood education in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, Atul Gaikwad and Mukta Navrekar provide us with a systematic roadmap of the process.
