“Ensure all necessary steps are undertaken to fulfil NEP’s vision of providing all children with access to Early Childhood Care; ECCE certificate programs will be conducted by the government for all anganwadi workers and teachers.”
Uttarakhand made a visible NEP/ECCE start by launching Bal Vatikas in government primary schools and anganwadi centres, including reported coverage of 4,457 anganwadi kendras and 5,000 state-run primary schools. However, I did not verify universal ECCE access for all children or government-run ECCE certificate programmes for all anganwadi workers and teachers. This is partial because the pre-primary/ECCE rollout is real, but the universal access and certification components remain unproven. Budget status: no promise-specific ECCE certification allocation found.
TOI reported that Bal Vatikas were introduced but broader NEP reforms and training remained incomplete or inconsistent.
