Indo Count Company: 7 Brilliant New Anganwadis to Empower Local Children Through Saksham Project
Indo Count Company has set a powerful example of social responsibility in the industrial belt of Valsad district. In a move that promises to secure a brighter future for the youngest residents of Bhilad and Sarigam, the company has launched a highly commendable initiative. Under the banner of the Indo Count Foundation, the “Saksham Anganwadi Project” has been officially initiated to build seven modern Anganwadi centers. This project is not merely about constructing brick-and-mortar structures; it is a holistic approach designed to ensure the health, nutrition, and overall well-being of local children. The foundation stone-laying ceremony, or Khatmuhurat, was held at Khan Faliya in Sarigam, marking a golden chapter in the region’s grassroots development.
For years, the local communities have felt the need for upgraded facilities for their children. By stepping in with this project, the Indo Count Company is addressing a critical gap in the social infrastructure. The transformation of these seven centers will provide a safe, vibrant, and resource-rich environment where toddlers can begin their educational journey. This initiative underscores the company’s belief that a strong nation is built on the foundation of healthy and educated children, starting from the most remote corners of the district.
Indo Count Company Builds 7 Modern Educational Hubs
The Indo Count Company, based in Bhilad, is widely recognized for its active Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) wing. This time, focusing heavily on education and child welfare, the company has decided to resolve the long-standing issues of dilapidated and rented Anganwadi buildings in Sarigam, Bhilad, and Karambeli. According to the project details, the Indo Count Company will construct four new Anganwadis in the Sarigam area, two in the Bhilad area, and one in Karambeli village.
Currently, many of these centers operate out of temporary spaces or structures that have aged significantly over the years. The construction of these seven new buildings will provide hundreds of children with a secure and enjoyable atmosphere for learning. Having their own permanent, well-equipped buildings means these Anganwadis can now offer better sanitation, play areas, and educational tools. This effort by the Indo Count Company will play a pivotal role in strengthening the very foundation of primary education at the local level. During the ceremony, villagers expressed immense joy, as this facility is directly linked to the prosperity of their future generations.
The Science of the First 1000 Days: A Saksham Initiative
The Indo Count Foundation is not stopping at just building the physical infrastructure; they have given the “Saksham Anganwadi Project” a much broader scope. A core component of this project is the “First 1000 Days of a Child” campaign. According to medical science, the period from a child’s birth to their second birthday (approximately 1000 days) is the most critical window for physical and mental development. The Indo Count Company is committed to ensuring that children in this sensitive phase receive the right nutrition and healthcare services.
By focusing on this developmental window, the project aims to eradicate malnutrition and cognitive delays. The Anganwadis will be developed not just as centers for basic literacy, but as comprehensive hubs for child development. The Indo Count Company envisions these centers as places where mothers can also receive guidance on how to care for their infants during these crucial months. During the project launch, parents were given detailed presentations on the biological significance of these first 1000 days, helping them understand how early care leads to a lifetime of better health and intelligence.
Indo Count Company Deploys Medical Vans for Nutrition Tracking
During the foundation stone-laying event, the Indo Count Company also provided a specialized medical van to serve the community. This modern mobile unit was used to measure the weight of the Anganwadi toddlers and conduct primary health screenings. A team of experts examined the nutritional levels of each child, identifying those who were underweight or showed signs of nutritional deficiencies. Parents of these children were then provided with customized diet plans and essential tips on nutrition-rich diets.
The guidance provided was based on the “PU” (Poshan Yukt) nutrition system. The CSR team of the Indo Count Company has assured that such medical check-ups and health camps will be held regularly in the future. This is a significant relief for poor and middle-class families in rural areas who may not always have access to pediatric specialists. Furthermore, the Anganwadi workers will be trained by the company to use modern monitoring equipment, ensuring that the health data of every child is tracked accurately month after month.
High-Level Attendance from Mumbai and Local Leadership
The event at Khan Faliya, Sarigam, was a high-profile gathering reflecting the importance the company places on this project. From the Mumbai head office of the Indo Count Company, senior officials D. P. Garg and Akhilesh Srivastava were present to oversee the launch. They shared the company’s roadmap, stating that they are always eager to contribute to the social upliftment of the industrial areas where they operate. Members of the Bhilad plant’s civil department and the CSR team were also tasked with ensuring the rapid implementation of the construction work.
Local leaders also showed strong support for the initiative. Sarigam Sarpanch Sahadev Vaghat and his panchayat members welcomed the project with enthusiasm. The Sarpanch noted that receiving four new Anganwadis in Sarigam is a proud moment for the local administration. Additionally, Rakesh Rai, Chairman of the Yuva Charitable Trust, the CDPO of the Umargam Taluka Anganwadi department, and a large number of Anganwadi workers attended the ceremony. These dignitaries lauded the Indo Count Company for this noble task and blessed the children who will benefit from these centers.
Indo Count Company: Redefining Rural Development Through CSR
The success of a company is measured not just by its profits, but by what it gives back to society. By building seven Anganwadis in Sarigam, Bhilad, and Karambeli, the Indo Count Company has proved that industrial growth and rural development can go hand-in-hand. Once these buildings are completed, they will be equipped with purified drinking water facilities, clean toilets, playground equipment, and modern learning aids to make education fun for the kids.
This project will not only benefit the children but will also improve the working conditions for the Anganwadi teachers and helpers. The “Saksham Anganwadi Project” by the Indo Count Company serves as an inspiration for other industries in the Valsad district to invest in similar human-centric initiatives. By strengthening the pillars of nutrition and education, the company is making a genuine contribution to nation-building. In the coming months, as these seven buildings take shape, a significant improvement in the educational and health status of the entire region is expected.
