The Women & Child Development (WCD) Department of the State Government has said that Anganwadi Centres (AWCs) in Odisha will reopen from March 28.
AWCs across the State have been closed since April 19 last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The government has decided to reopen the AWCs from March 28 except in those AWCs where district administration decides otherwise depending on the local situation.
If COVID cases are detected in the future, in any Gram Panchayat, district administration may also close down all the AWCs of that Gram Panchayat forthwith; ensure isolation and other protocols for the beneficiary so affected and intimate the department, the circular which was issued read.
