42,817 Banagru Kutumbalu in the dist
Parvatipuram: There are approximately 42,817 Banagru Kutumbalu (Golden Families) in the Parvatipuram Manyam district. The district is preparing to coordinate these families with Margadarsi (guides). The families were selected by the government based on household data available online. Constituency-level workshops have begun to ensure the success of the programme, which aims to uplift families from poverty through guidance provided by Margadarsi. On Saturday, district collector A Shyam Prasad conducted a workshop with the relevant officials, instructing them to work with dedication to help families rise out of poverty. He emphasised that the government is prioritising this initiative to eradicate poverty within these families. The official team is expected to collaborate effectively to bridge the gap between the Bangaru families and Margadarsi. The collector praised the district team for their successful work in Yogandhra, where about 500,000 people enrolled in the program. He encouraged them to maintain that same spirit in this initiative to make the district a model for others. He motivated the officials to work diligently and thoughtfully, noting that such efforts could lead to remarkable outcomes. He stressed the importance of continuous support and coordination until each family reaches a certain level of stability. The district collector instructed the Grama Sachivalayam staff to contact the families and conduct a needs survey to understand their requirements, ensuring effective coordination with Margadarsi.

It takes a village: Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Week to highlight childhood, community and connection
Abu Dhabi, UAE – Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Court for Development and Fallen Heroes' Affairs and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority (ECA), the Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority (ECA) and its partners will host the 2nd Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Week 2025, an Emirate-wide series of community activations, taking place from 17 - 23 November 2025. Under the theme Together We Can Make Abu Dhabi a Family-friendly Emirate, the week will serve as a platform for public and private sector partners to co-create and offer enriching experiences for families and young children. The Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Week 2025 embodies ECA's vision where every young child can flourish, to their full potential, in a safe and family-friendly environment. The week creates space for collaboration, shared action, and joyful connection, while aligning with the UAE's Year of Community by encouraging everyone to take part. The 2024 edition saw a remarkable response: over 25,000 families participated, more than 70 activations were hosted across the Emirate, and 1,000+ global attendees contributed to a vibrant exchange of ideas, innovation, and storytelling. Building on this momentum, the 2025 edition aims to deepen impact, broaden reach, and inspire even more engagement. While the 2024 edition included a global forum, a gathering of early childhood researchers and an Early Childhood Development Fair (biannual activities), the 2025 edition aims to create targeted impact on the grassroots level by engaging the community, through activations, across the Emirate. 'In the first 1,000 days, a child's brain forms over a million connections every second - these are the moments that shape a lifetime. We also know that investing in the early years is an investment in our nation's future. It helps lay the foundations for healthier, more resilient societies, stronger economies, and empowered future generations who will carry the UAE's legacy forward,' said Her Excellency Sana bint Mohamed Suhail, Minister of Family and Director General of the Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority. 'This November, Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Week invites every family, caregiver, community member and organization to be part of something truly special. Through playful experiences and interactive activations across the Emirate, we will be shining a light on the importance of the early years of a child. The Week will be an excellent opportunity for organizations to actively participate, co-create and contribute. Come out, take part, and contribute to our collective mission to make Abu Dhabi family-friendly,' Suhail added. Key themes during the Week will include: Spending quality time with children Nurturing cultural identity and heritage Using Technology and AI to support, not replace, real-life connection Creating more family-friendly spaces across the Emirate Reaching communities throughout Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, and Al Dhafra region, Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Week 2025 will transform public spaces into playgrounds of learning and wonder, turning everyday places into opportunities for parents and caregivers to connect with their children. The ECA invites organizations to co-create and offer enriching experiences throughout the week that are age-appropriate, child-centered, encouraging play, hands-on and interactive, culturally relevant, and encourage parent-child bonding. Organizations interested in contributing to this Week can register their interest by emailing ADECWeek@ The Week's partners as well as the schedule of community activations will be announced closer to the Week.
