The education sector is witnessing transformative changes in Jammu and Kashmir under the central government’s New Education Policy (NEP). The Anganwadi centres meant for improving the overall well-being of children under six years old, pregnant women, and lactating mothers, have now been turned into full-fledged preschool centres under the policy in Udhampur district of the region. Such a transformation marks a significant shift in how early childhood education is perceived and delivered. By integrating structured learning with foundational nutrition and care, the district is setting a precedent that must be emulated across the Union Territory. The NEP-2020 rightly recognizes that the early years, especially from ages 3 to 6, are crucial in shaping a child’s cognitive, emotional and social development. Yet for too long, Anganwadi centres have been underutilized, often reduced to basic nutrition distribution points. Their potential as centers of learning has remained largely untapped, particularly in rural and underserved areas. By equipping centres with age-appropriate learning materials, training Anganwadi workers as preschool educators and improving infrastructure, the district is giving its youngest citizens a strong and equal start in life. This is not just an investment in children, but it is an investment in the future of the region. It is the time for the rest of the districts to take a cue and must recognize that the quality preschool education is the foundation of educational equity. There is a need to take immediate and necessary measures in this regard in the other districts and ensure the transformation of the Anganwadi centres into full-fledged preschool centres to nourish the children at a young age.
