With the ongoing heatwave making it challenging for children to attend anganwadis in Pathanamthitta, Kerala, the Department of Women and Child Development has issued directives for anganwadi workers to visit homes. Parents are encouraged to keep their children at home, and those who choose to attend will continue to receive pre-school education and nutrition. Anganwadi workers will ensure that children receive half a litre of packet milk per week, which is approximately 125 ml per day, and three eggs weekly on alternate days. Any leftover milk should be converted into curd for the child's consumption. The initiative aims to provide essential nutrition under the Poshaka Balyam scheme while also ensuring children stay hydrated by drinking safe, boiled water and buttermilk. The same guidelines apply to creches, emphasizing the importance of nutrition and hydration during extreme weather conditions.
