With the support of TDH Netherland, the staffs of Bhartiya Kisan Sangh are picking the waste materials from the community and preparing it as educational materials then placing it in the campus of Anganwadi centres. With the objective of attracting the Anganwadi centre, along with educational materials, the children are provided with an environment of learning and the mother, father along with the community people are being involved in different activities of the centre.
The project coordinator of the organization BKS – Mr. Sunil Kr.
