What does gender inequality look like in an Anganwadi?

It can show up in small, everyday moments. Who is encouraged to answer first, who gets to lead, what kinds of play children are drawn towards, whose ideas are taken seriously, etc.

These moments may seem ordinary. But over time, they can shape how children participate, express themselves, and explore.

At the Centre for Learning Resources (CLR), gender equality messaging is part of our curriculum and is implicitly included in our teaching practices. In addition to that, we also promote gender equality through posters, cards, stories, and equal opportunities for play, conversation, and engagement in Anganwadis and classrooms.

Gender informed reporting, gender dynamic analysis, and gender-sensitive messaging is integrated into our project development processes.

Additionally, through our action research on gender-sensitive practices in Anganwadis, we focus on how gender can be meaningfully integrated into ๐—˜๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—น๐˜† ๐—–๐—ต๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฑ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ฑ ๐——๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ (๐—˜๐—–๐——) & ๐—˜๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—น๐˜† ๐—–๐—ต๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฑ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ฑ ๐—˜๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป (๐—˜๐—–๐—˜) by strengthening the ๐—ž๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜„๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ด๐—ฒ, ๐—”๐˜๐˜๐—ถ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐˜€, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€ (๐—ž๐—”๐—ฃ) of frontline workers.

For CLR, gender-responsive practice begins with noticing everyday patterns of gender inequality, reflecting on them, and using that understanding to strengthen practice.

CLR continues to support Anganwadi Workers and Supervisors in strengthening Early Childhood Education (ECE) practices in Daund Block, Pune. CLR partnered with Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), and Zila Parishad for the Daund ECE Project.

On 23rd and 24th July 2026, the Module 2 training was conducted for Anganwadi Workers (AWWs). The training strengthened practical understanding and implementation of key ECE practices and focused on learning through play, active participation, and holistic child development.

The team conducted sessions on the following ECE practices:

Alongside the training, the project team has been providing continued mentoring and on-site support.

โ€ข 90+ in-depth visits conducted across Model Anganwadi Centres
โ€ข 21 Anganwadi Centres supported in strengthening their learning environments (Based on CLR's 22 Learning Environment Indicators.)
โ€ข The field team has also observed positive improvements in quality indicators, including better pre-planning, planned learning activities, regular free play, and domain-wise activities.

At CLR, we remain focused on connecting training with practice and supporting AWWs through ongoing mentoring, reflection, and hands-on learning.

Together, let us work towards creating responsive and child-friendly learning environments where every child gets meaningful opportunities to learn, play, explore, and grow.

At Centre for Learning Resources (CLR), we've learnt that children don't perform for a research setting the way adults often do. Meaningful qualitative data depends on how well we adapt the process to the children we are engaging with. Every pause, every rephrased question, and every choice to let a child set the pace is a methodological decision made by the facilitator.

Creating an environment to help children feel safe, using ice-breaker sessions to ease children into the conversation, and going off script, each step shapes the quality of evidence we collect.

Working with children reminds us of the value of seeing a programme from the ground level, as an observer and participant, instead of a programme developer.

It's also a reminder that the quality of what we hear depends entirely on the conditions we create for children to say it.

These RME practices help us move from collecting responses to understanding experiences, and ultimately, to better programme learning.

The programme is being carried forward in close coordination with District Programme Officers (DPOs), CDPOs, Supervisors, and Anganwadi Workers (AWWs) on the ground.

A key focus of the training was to equip frontline workers with practical tools and approaches for creating engaging, responsive, and inclusive learning environments.

What we see in a classroom is shaped by much that happens before and beyond the lesson itself.

It involves understanding learners, planning with purpose, choosing approaches that support learning, noticing how learners respond, and making adjustments along the way. These decisions draw on teacher's knowledge, experience, and understanding of their learners and contexts.

But strengthening teaching practice cannot rest on individual teachers alone.

Teachers also need the time, resources, professional spaces, and support that enable them to learn from experience, discuss challenges, try out new approaches, and reflect on what works in their classrooms.

At CLR, our work with teachers has reinforced the value of sustained professional learning. Opportunities to learn, practise, and observe can help teachers strengthen their practice in ways that are relevant to their classrooms and learners.

This Teacherโ€™s Day, we recognise the thought, knowledge, experience, and care that teachers bring to their classrooms, and the support they need to continue strengthening their practice.

Let us recognise teachers not only for what they do but also invest in what enables them to do it well.

Healthy, happy, and educated children are fundamental to the growth of every nation. Together, let us strengthen the future of every child to ensure a prosperous India.

The celebration created a meaningful space for families to connect and understand the important role parents play in a child's early development. Parents reflected on their own childhood memories and the values that shaped their parenting today.

The event was filled with interactive games and engaging activities led by HCLTech volunteers, ensuring that children and parents enjoyed quality time together and created lasting memories. For two of our young learners, the day was especially special, as we celebrated their birthday with excitement and joy.

Families and communities coming together created a stimulating place for every child to thrive, strengthening relationships and fostering a greater sense of community.

At the Centre for Learning Resources (CLR), we believe that home is a child's first school, and parents are a child's first teachers. Meaningful family interactions, such as engaging conversations and stimulating actions, are essential for a childโ€™s lifelong learning and holistic development.

We sincerely thank HCLFoundation clFoundation for its continued support and HCLTech volunteers for their enthusiastic participation in making the celebration memorable for every child and family.

Together, we continue to nurture happy childhoods, strengthen families, and create brighter futures.
