The Chief Minister drew attention to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recognition of Anganwadi workers, noting that the Prime Minister has conferred upon them the honorary title of “Maa Yashoda.” Patel said the title reflects national acknowledgment of their dedication to children and mothers, particularly in communities where early childhood care remains a lifeline. The gesture, he added, seeks to honour their service-oriented commitment to nurturing young lives.
Patel reiterated that Anganwadi workers have long been instrumental in implementing early childhood schemes, ensuring nutritional support, tracking health milestones, and creating a safe and encouraging environment for pre-school learning. By highlighting Modi’s tribute, he stressed that the government aims to elevate the visibility and dignity of their contribution, acknowledging them as indispensable partners in building a healthier, more capable future generation.
As Gujarat continues strengthening maternal and child welfare frameworks, Patel said the recognition serves as both appreciation and encouragement for thousands of women who form the backbone of India’s grassroots childcare system.
