DIET Leh Organises Two-Day Training Programme for Anganwadi Workers.
A two-day training programme for Anganwadi workers commenced today at the District Institute of Education and Training (DIET), Leh. The training is being conducted with the support of resource persons from Zampa Foundation Pvt. Ltd. and aims to strengthen the capacity of Anganwadi workers in early childhood care and education.
Around 160 Anganwadi workers from various parts of Leh district are participating in the programme. The training focuses on enhancing the skills and understanding of Anganwadi workers in handling young children and improving the quality of early childhood education at the grassroots level.
During the inaugural session, Shri Mirza Mehdi, Principal DIET Leh, warmly welcomed the resource persons from Zampa Foundation and all the participating Anganwadi workers. In his address, he emphasised the significant responsibility of Anganwadi workers in nurturing young children during their most important developmental stage. He encouraged all participants to take the training seriously and actively engage in the sessions, stating that the early years of a child’s life form the foundation for their future learning and development.
Smt. Tsering Yangdol, Head of Department, DIET Leh, also addressed the participants and highlighted the crucial role played by Anganwadi workers in shaping and guiding young minds. She explained the importance of the foundational stage of education and stressed the need to incorporate the principles of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 in early childhood education practices.
The training programme will continue over the next two days with interactive sessions, discussions, and practical demonstrations conducted by experts from Zampa Foundation, aimed at equipping Anganwadi workers with effective strategies to support the holistic development of children.
