Hyderabad: The Telangana government is planning to introduce mobile anganwadi centres to provide nutritious food and other services to eligible beneficiaries in underserved slums and residential areas of Hyderabad.

Official sources said on Thursday that the Women and Child Welfare Department has been facing difficulties in establishing new anganwadi centres in the city due to high population density, frequent migration, and the unavailability of suitable buildings in several localities.

A recent departmental survey identified 25,310 children, pregnant women, and lactating mothers within the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) limits as eligible for anganwadi services. However, these areas currently lack such facilities.
