Bhopal: Pankaj Jain could afford to send her daughter to a high profile and costly play school in the city. But he instead chose to send her daughter to a rural childcare centre or anganwadi for pre-schooling.

This way Pankaj Jain, the district Collector of Katni district in Madhya Pradesh has has set an example for others to emulate. The Collector claims the anganwadi was better than many private play schools in the area.

"When responsible officers send their children to these places, the condition there improves automatically. And if there is something lacking, they pitch in and try to improve it," an IANS report quoted the Pankaj Jain as saying.
