IAS officer sent three year old daughter to Anganwadi
Pulkit Garg believes that the condition of government schools and Anganwadi centers has improved a lot in the last few years. While talking to Dainik Bhaskar, he said that now there is no shortage of resources and continuous improvement has been seen in the quality of education. He says that if an IAS officer can get his child educated in a government institution, then common parents also do not need to hesitate.

Emphasizing on early childhood development, he said that health, nutrition, learning environment and values play an essential role in the development of children. Anganwadi centers not only provide education but also provide a safe and nurturing environment to children.

He warned that taking such a step just to inspire others is not enough. At the same time, some users are also supporting Garg’s decision. He said that this is a good step and such steps can become a model for all government officials. Some suggested that higher level officials and better monitoring are also necessary in the centers so that all facilities and safety are ensured to the children.
