The decision was made in a meeting last week.
Officials said mapping of anganwadi centres will also be done so that ECCE-based activities can be monitored there. The ECCE task force will also work on arranging pre-primary education in Ashram schools run by the tribal area development department, along with capacity-building training of six months and one year for anganwadi workers.
"Mapping of anganwadi centres with the nearest schools will be done so that anganwadi centres can be run along with schools, which will help in both monitoring nutrition and early education.
Our aim is to strengthen primary education so that the performance of secondary classes improves. Primary classes act as a feeder for secondary education, and a key reason for developing learning gaps is not enough focus on primary education," said an official.
At anganwadi centres, the ECCE programme focuses on making learning playful for children aged 3-6, to help their linguistic and cognitive development. Under this initiative, monthly meetings with parents are also conducted to track children's growth and prepare them for schools.
As part of ECCE, anganwadi centres focus on activities to ensure linguistic development, creative development, and cognitive development, along with tracking health indicators and nutritious food distribution.
The timetable includes activities like painting or drawing, playing games like abacus, and poetry reciting or storytelling.

LDA begins translocation of old trees for green corridor project
Lucknow: The LDA on Friday begun the process of translocating old trees that are in the way of the proposed green corridor between Hanuman Setu and Kukrail. A total of 166 trees, aged around 12 to 15 years, will be relocated instead of being axed. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The initiative was launched by LDA chairperson and divisional commissioner Roshan Jacob near Hanuman Setu. On the first day, 21 trees were translocated to the Gomti Riverfront. LDA vice-chairperson Prathamesh Kumar said the green corridor project spans 28Km from IIM Road to Kisan Path. As part of this, the embankment is being widened between Hanuman Setu and Nishatganj, and then onwards to Kukrail. "During planning, it was identified that 166 mature trees fall within the construction zone. Instead of cutting them, the LDA's engineering and horticulture teams were directed to prepare a translocation plan. A Delhi-based firm was consulted, and following a detailed site inspection, the transplantation process was initiated," he said. Preparation for the relocation began six days prior, during which a suitable natural environment was recreated at the new site. Soil from around the roots of the original location was blended with the soil at the new site. Earth balls were formed around the roots, and appropriate quantities of insecticides and vermicompost were added. Experts estimate a survival rate of 60 to 80% for the translocated trees. Jacob instructed that the relocated trees be planted not only at the riverfront but also at other LDA project sites. Additionally, she directed that the ghat area near Nadwa College be cleaned and used for future plantation drives.

Indonesian Rescuers Widen Search For Missing After Ferry Sinks
Hundreds of Indonesian rescuers widened their search for dozens of missing people Friday after a ferry sank in rough seas on the way to the resort island of Bali, with six bodies recovered. The ferry carrying at least 65 people, including passengers and crew, was making a five-kilometre (3.2-mile) crossing from eastern Java island to Bali when it tilted and sank in bad weather late Wednesday, witnesses and officials said. As of Friday evening, 30 people were still missing after 29 were rescued from the water on Thursday, with no more survivors found since, Rama Samtama Putra, police chief of Banyuwangi in East Java, where the boat departed, told AFP. Rescuers said one of the six found dead was a three-year-old boy. Tearful survivors described their horror when the ship went down, including one man who lost his wife. "I was joking around with my wife. And then... the ferry tilted. The accident was very fast," Febriani, who like many Indonesians has one name, told AFP late Thursday. "I resigned my fate... and asked God to save my wife. It turned out... my wife died but I survived," said the 27-year-old, welling up with tears. "I jumped with my wife. I managed to get back up but my wife slipped away." Rescuers carried out searches by sea and air on Friday, expanding their efforts along the coastlines of eastern Java and Bali, national search and rescue agency operations official Ribut Eko Suyatno told reporters. "The land search rescue unit... we ask to comb through the Ketapang beach from north to south. Also likewise for Gilimanuk," he said. The ferry passage from Java's Ketapang port to Gilimanuk port on Bali -- one of the busiest crossings in the country -- takes around one hour and is often used by people travelling between the islands with a car. Local rescue officials said the KMP Tunu Pratama Jaya vessel sank 25 minutes into its journey. At least 306 rescuers were deployed Friday for the search effort, the Java-based Surabaya search and rescue agency said. Bad weather The search was temporarily halted overnight and resumed around 8:00 am (0000 GMT) Friday in Bali. Rescuers had deployed inflatable boats, larger rescue vessels and a helicopter to aid the search on Thursday, made up of dozens of personnel, including navy and police officers. At least four survivors were found early on Thursday after saving themselves by climbing into the ferry's lifeboat. Initial search efforts were hampered by bad weather, with waves as high as 2.5 metres (8 feet) and strong winds. The ferry's manifest showed 53 passengers and 12 crew members but it is common in Indonesia for the actual number of passengers on a boat to differ from that document. Marine accidents are a regular occurrence in Indonesia, a Southeast Asian archipelago nation of around 17,000 islands, in part due to lax safety standards and sometimes due to bad weather. In March, a boat carrying 16 people capsized in rough waters off Bali, killing an Australian woman and injuring at least one other person. In 2018, more than 150 people drowned when a ferry sank in one of the world's deepest lakes on Sumatra island.
