In response to recent media reports suggesting the closure of several Anganwadi centres, Minister Geetha Jeevan has firmly denied such claims. She stated that these reports are baseless and assured that the Tamil Nadu government has no intention of shutting down any Anganwadi centres.
👉 Currently, 54,483 Centres Are Operational in Tamil Nadu
When the DMK government took office in 2021, there were 54,439 operational Anganwadi centres across Tamil Nadu. Since then, 44 additional centres have been established, bringing the current total to 54,483.
👉 Media Reports of 501 Anganwadi Closures Are False
Some news articles claimed that 501 centres were closed in the current year. The Minister dismissed this claim, reiterating that no such closures have occurred and that all centres are functioning as usual.
👉 Centre Relocation Approved by Central Government
The state is working under the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) to ensure better service delivery. As part of this effort, with approval from the Union government, certain Anganwadi centres are being relocated based on local needs and beneficiary access.
👉 New Centres Planned in Growing Areas
With rapid urbanization and shifting population patterns, the government is planning to open new centres in underserved and newly developed areas. In some cases, smaller centres are being merged or upgraded, and vice versa, depending on local demand.
👉 Restructuring Efforts in Progress
Over the past six months, data has been collected to aid in restructuring efforts. The focus is on improving access—especially in hilly, remote, or hard-to-reach areas—by opening mini Anganwadi centres and shifting existing ones closer to where beneficiaries live.
👉 Government Committed to Running All 54,483 Centres
The restructuring plan is still in the planning stage and has not been implemented yet. Even after any changes are made, the government is committed to ensuring that all 54,483 centres continue to function without interruption.
