A shocking revelation has emerged from Jamui district where an anganwadi center has been illegally operating as a hospital for the past eight months. The incident comes from an anganwadi center in a panchayat under Sono block of Jamui, where children are supposed to receive nutritional food, but instead, patients are being treated. This situation has completely disrupted the anganwadi center's primary purpose, halting essential services for children.

According to local residents, the anganwadi center was rented out to a private hospital approximately eight months ago. Since then, the nutritional food and other facilities meant for children have been completely suspended. Neither children are attending the center nor are they receiving any nutritional support. This illegal operation has caused significant outrage among the local community. Villagers claim they have repeatedly complained to the concerned authorities, but no concrete action has been taken so far.

Anganwadi centers are a crucial government initiative aimed at providing nutrition, health, and early education to children under 6 years of age and pregnant women. Therefore, using an anganwadi center as a hospital violates all these objectives. This situation is not only affecting the health and development of children but also raising questions about the implementation of government schemes.

The negligence of the district administration and health department is evident in this matter. It remains to be seen when and what action will be taken regarding this serious irregularity. Local residents demand that the anganwadi center be restored to its original function as soon as possible, and children receive their rightful entitlements.
