PANJIM: Carrying forward the vision of the government to introduce digital anganwadis in the State, the Department of Women and Child Development (WCD) has launched eight of such anganwadis as a pilot project in the State.
WCD Minister Vishwajit Rane and Poriem MLA Deviya Rane inaugurated the digital anganwadis at Poriem, Keri, Morlem, Honda, Pissurlem, Bhironda, Mauxi and Thane-Dongurlim, even as 125 Anganwadi Centres (AWCs) get set to become digitally enabled.
The launch marks the beginning of transforming traditional Anganwadi Centres into Digital Anganwadi Centres by providing a Personalised and Adaptive Learning (PAL) software package as per National Initiative for Proficiency in Reading. with Understanding and Numeracy (NIPUN Bharat) guidelines, including tablets, TVs, and offline educational content in Konkani and English for children attending the anganwadi centres.
The software tools designed by ConveGenius aim to strengthen the foundational numeracy skills of students, provide motivation, and build confidence by developing L-S-R-W (Listening-Speaking-Writing-Reading) skills in children.
Vishwajit Rane said, “Introducing EdTech in anganwadis has always been a dream for me and it has been accomplished with the help of ConveGenius and our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) partners. We have laid down this vision wherein select AWCs would be equipped with a meaningful EdTech solution as a pilot initiative, and basis learnings from this pilot, the Digital Anganwadi Programme would be further scaled to the entire State.”
