The Reliance group is partnering with the Government of Maharashtra to enhance Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) initiatives.

Reliance Foundation launched a network of 24 Anganwadi Learning Labs in Maharashtra to strengthen early childhood care and education (ECCE) in the state. The initiative is part of a strategic partnership with the Government of Maharashtra to improve the learning and development of young children. The Anganwadi Learning Labs will serve as demonstration, training, and innovation spaces for frontline Anganwadi workers and parents. The labs will provide capacity building on play-based learning techniques, age-appropriate books and digital infrastructure, and child-friendly WASH facilities. The goal is to enhance children’s school readiness, numeracy, and literacy skills, and help them reach their full potential. The initiative aims to benefit over 10,000 children across Maharashtra, with rigorous training programs and continuous support. The launch event was attended by over 250 parents, children, and ICDS officials, who shared their aspirations and perspectives for the center.
