(a):      As  per  Schedule-I  of  the  Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment  Guarantee  Act (Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGA),  construction  of  buildings  for  Anganwadi  Centres  at  the  village level  or  block  level  is  permissible  under  Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment Guarantee Scheme (Mahatma Gandhi NREGS). The district-wise number of Anganwadi Centers (AWCs) completed in the State of Uttar Pradesh  under  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS  during  the  last  five  financial  years  is  given  at Annexure-I. (b):    Mahatma Gandhi NREGS is a demand driven wage employment scheme with bottom up planning. The works are identified, approved and prioritized out of shelf of work by the Gram Panchayat,  recommended  by  Gram  Sabha  in  each  State/UT  as  per  the  provision  of  the  Act. Accordingly,  the  works  are  approved  and  taken  up  by  Panchayat  as  per  the  demand. The planning of works is done as per the estimated person days to be generated for the work in a financial year at the time of assessment of labour budget. The Ministry does not provide any target or plan for any kind of work to be taken up at the Gram Panchayat level. The  district-wise  number  of  Anganwadi  Centers  (AWCs)  approved  (yet  to  start)  and ongoing as on 07.12.2022 in the State of Uttar Pradesh under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS is given at Annexure-II. (c) & (d):      As per the information shared by the Ministry of Women and Child Development, 'During the pandemic, all Anganwadi Centres across the country were closed to limit the impact of Covid-19'.
