The Integrated Child Development Services has invited donation of toys from the public for anganwadis here in the district.

In a novel initiative, under the Ministry for Women and Child Development, the ICDS here has called for donation of toys, usable for children in anganwadis.

There are over 1,796 anganwadis in the district.

However, in recognition of the fact that the children in anganwadis do not have toys or stationery to keep them occupied in a constructive manner, ICDS has called upon public to donate toys that could be of use to children in anganwadis.

There are over 352 Childline centres functioning across the country, and the toys are received by the centres and are categorised as per their use before distribution to children.

Public may visit the Childline website for their contribution of toys. Childline operates on 1098, which may be contacted for details.
