PROJECT INITIATION It originally started of as a part of BORN LEARNING CAMPAIGN, introduced by a non-profit organisation, United Way Bangalore who have parterened with several stake holders for common good of the community. Born Learning campaign is a public engagement campaign that helps parents, grandparents, caregivers explore ways to turn everyday moments into fun learning opportunities. It has empowered more than 15 million parents and other caregivers with online tips, tools and other resources to ensure kids start school equipped for success. They have now expanded Born Learning to thousands of children in Asia, Australia and Latin America. Most early childhood initiatives target either parents or policy makers. Born Learning equips communities to do both. Restore design, being a design entity was an equally important contributor for the development of Anganwadi design. It was a great opportunity to participate in shaping a space to nurture future generation.

ANGANWADI
Anganwadi is a government sponsored child and mother care developmental programme in India at village level. It caters to children 0-6 age group. It started as a part of the Integrated Child Development Services program (ICDS) in 1975 to combat child hunger and malnutrition. An anganwadi centre provides basic health care facilities in Indian contraceptive counselling and supply, nutrition education and supplementation, as well as pre-school activities. The centre may also be used as depots for oral rehydration salts, basic medicines, contraceptives and child care. The term ‘Anganwadi’ means courtyard shelter. The word is derived from Hindi word ‘ Angan’ meaning courtyard of a house. Angan is a rural indian term for “place where people get together to discuss, greet and socialize”. Therefore, the significance of this part of the housse comes across in the way a worker works in angan and visits other angan to perform the indispensable duty of helping with health care issues.

CHILD DEVELOPMENT India with a population of 1.21 billion population stand at the second position as the most populous country in the world after China. Children in the age group 0-6 years constitute around 158 million (13.1 percent) of the population of India (2011 census). About 50% of the children, more than half of them below 6 years, are living in conditions of deprivation. About 40% of the deaths that occur are of children below 5 years. About half to two-thirds of the children from the economically disadvantaged sections of the society are malnourished. The infant mortality rate in scheduled castes is 159 per 1000 in rural areas’ and 90 per thousand in the urban These are much higher when compared with the national infant mortality rate (UNICEF,1978). Malnutrition among the children reduced significantly over the time, but still the number of malnourished children is very high in the country. Mortality among infants and under-5 children is also a major concern. Hence, an overall holistic approach towards childs early development is most needed.
34 | URJA ORAM | EXHIBITION DESIGN | DEGREE PROJECT
EARLY CHILDHOOD The children between ages 3-6 years are imparted non-formal pre-school education in an anganwadi in each village with about 1000 population. The objective is to provide opportunities to develop desirable attitude, values and behaviour pattern among children. Locally produces inexpensive toys and material are used in organising play and creative ativities.
IMPORTANCE OF EARLY CHILD DEVELOPMENT The emotional, social and physical development of young children has a direct effect on their overall development and on the adult they become. Early child development encompasses a series of learning processes during which the child learns about the environment and himself/herself Neurological research shows that the early years play a key role in children’s brain development. The first six years of life constitutes the most crucial span in life. At this stage if life, the foundation are laid for mental, physical and social development. These years determine child’s survival and thriving in life, and lay the foundations for her/ his learning and holistic development. It is during the early years that children develop the cognitive, physical, social and emotional skills that they need to succeed in life.
URJA ORAM | EXHIBITION DESIGN | DEGREE PROJECT | 35
ROLE OF ANGANWADI IN EARLY EDUCATION Non-formal pre-school education(PSE) component of the ICDS may well be considered the backbone of the ICDS program This is also the most joyful play-way daily activity, visibly sustained for three hours a day. It brings and keeps young children at the anganwadi centre. This program for 3-6 years children in Anganwadi is directed towars providing and ensuring a natural, joyful and stimulating environment, with emphasis on necessary inputs for optial growth and development. It also contributes to the universaliation of primary education, by providing child all the necessary preparation for primary schooling.
36 | URJA ORAM | EXHIBITION DESIGN | DEGREE PROJECT
ANGANWADI SPACES Designing an Anganwadi space depends on many factors, space availablibity, number of children, location, funding. And all should be adequate to be able to build one Anganwadi. If space is available but funds are not, then construction can be done in a phased manner. FLOOR SPACE AWCs need to be arranged to provide space for group activities. Ideally it should have a sufficient covered floor area for children to sit on for different, individual and group. DISPLAY It should also have provision for display of children’s work as well as charts, posters, pictures. There should be separate space for cooking and storage of supplementary nutrition items etc. ACCESSIBILITY Black board provision at low height also needs to be made if possible. AWCs should have adequate play materials for free play and mechanism for replacing these when broken or worn out.

INFRASTRUCTURE MULTI-PURPOSE HALL
A multi-purpose hall caters to child development and infant care by providing interactive functional space with well equipped facilities. It sometimes also caters as a community space when after Anganwadi hours.
KITCHEN and STORE
A kitchen to prepare nutritious meals for children, mostly separated from Multi-purpose hall, for safety of children. Store to keep monthly stocks of grains and materials.
To maintain good standard of hygiene, separate toilets are really recommended.
TOILETS
An outdoor play area allows children to develop completely, running, jumping etc.
OUTDOOR PLAY-AREA
38 | URJA ORAM | EXHIBITION DESIGN | DEGREE PROJECT
SPACE REQUIREMENT With respect to ICDS norms of Anganwadi centers, and the available spaces, the reuirements that now occurs are : An anganwadi centers should have space for seating / eating / sleeping, separate kitchen, storage provision for food items, safe toilets, space for playing. As per the ICDS guidelines the minimum size required to build an Anganwadi centre is 600 sq.ft (56 sq.m) in a suitable location, well accessed. The spaces are not standard, it can be modified and added depending on the space available, alongwith the number of children. Working with optimal requiments was one major step to design an Anganwadi space.

DIYA GHAR An NGO for children from migrant communities. They believe that every child deserves to experience the joy of learning. They focus on Early Childhood Care and Education. They run Montessori Pre-schools for children of construction workers. At Diya Ghar each child is nurtured physically, emotionally, intellectually, socially and spiritually. Image 17 : Logo of diya ghar
VISION For all children, irrespective of their economic status, to have access to stimulating and nurturing pre-primary education. WHY DIYA GHAR? Children of construction workers are either left in the settlement or taken to the construction site. They face neglect, at the least, to all sorts of abuse – physical, emotional and sexual. WHY MONTESSORI METHOD? - All concepts are learnt through the five senses - by seeing, hearing, tasting, touching and doing. - Each child is valued as a unique individual with unique talents. - Children enjoy freedom within limits which builds their confidence. - Materials are self-correcting thus fostering independence. - A child in a Montessori environment engages in purposeful movement throughout the course of the day. He sets up his work area, picks up his material, goes to his work area and when he is finished working, puts it back on the shelf and moves on to the next material that interests him.

MIND MAP
Mind maps are organic and allows to associate and see an immense possibility and thoughts. The loose and visual manner in which a mind map is created is a great tool to open up creativity, also a great way to communicate thoughts and ideas.

ACTIVITY MAPPING
The process helps to know about the place identity, and how the space is used. It also helps understanding the types of users and physical setting of the space. Activity maps give a clear understanding of relationships between physical features of space and the activity patterns of people using it.Anganwadi space is used extensively by kids.

LAYOUT STUDY The foremost thing to design in a space that has certain limitations is to figure out the layout. In order to maximise the experience and utilisation of the space layout is very important. After the field visits, it was important to consider the variables in the space layout. The layout is totally driven by the priorities that the space demands with the same intent of providing a safe, child-friendly space.

A DAY IN ANGANWADI
Learning spaces are important and should be planned carefully and in detail. It is very important to map out what a typical “day in anganwadi” looks, to understand the intent of the space.
58 | URJA ORAM | EXHIBITION DESIGN | DEGREE PROJECT
She starts the day at Anganwadi with a soul full of joy and excitement.
All the toys to play and learn, to tell her that everything can be fun.
Different group activities help her get ready to mingle with the society.
A mid-day meal to help her gain all her lost energy.
A good afternoon nap to not make her miss out on her own dreamland.

INITIAL EXPLORATIONS
After the research and analysis, the initial explorations started with some raw ideas and approaches that helped to develop few initial concepts approaches and the final direction.
60 | URJA ORAM | EXHIBITION DESIGN | DEGREE PROJECT
Approach #1 Since, the given space had restrictions of deconstruction of any sort. One of the ways through which the space manipulation was looked at was volume.
Image 26-27-28-29-30 : Volumetric study explorations
URJA ORAM | EXHIBITION DESIGN | DEGREE PROJECT | 61
Approach #2 Second approach which was taken : Maximimization of space using the concept of delusion.
Image 31-32-33 : Delusion study explorations
62 | URJA ORAM | EXHIBITION DESIGN | DEGREE PROJECT
Approach #3 Experimenting the space through colours and creating a visual impact on the space.

CONSTITUENTS OF FINAL APPROACH MOVEMENT
When we are at any space, movement is very important. It gives us feel of comfort, trapped, chaotic etc. Visuals in space choreographs the movement and helps in organising a space. These kind of intervention helps to use the space in manyfolds. And in this scenario, it is very suitable and essential, as there is single hall dedicated to many activities.
MODULARITY
The curriculum of the Anganwadi pre-school demanded some extent of feasibility in the space manipulation. As their curriculum is set for every four months, thus the whole learning materials/kits in space needs to be not fixed. The kits or modules designed tries contributing in keeping the curriculum as flexible and dynamic as required.
ACCESSIBILITY
Choreographing the space and the elements keeping in mind the accessibility of the users of the space.
OWNERSHIP
Adding rituals to the space via design intervention helps enriching the chiild’s experience and to learn about taking care of their belongings. These little ownership rituals would bring in the feel of belonging to the space.
SENSORIAL
A sensorial experience provides a holistic approach to educate the child by implementing senses in the space intervention.

LEARNING The project to me was personally very exciting with a lot of learning. It created opportunities to meet and interact with people from different walkways. Working with organisations that have very different approach and goals was difficult. However, with continous support from peers and working for a while gave me that confidence to tackle those situations. Anganwadi is a great initiave by the government of India, that requires continous support from various parties. Thus, we as a creative community should find more ways to encourage and develop more of them. The project itself was an opportunity to gain knowledge, however very different from projects that I have done in NID. The projects done in NID has helped me in several ways by using past experiences to complete the degree project. I have been the part of the project from the start throughout. Although it would have been a great learning experience if I was a part till the execution stage. As a designer it was my responsibility to create balance and find a common ground between different organisations that were involved. This was a first social project undertaken by the Restore design, it was a learning experience for me as well as for the Restore team to design a government project, gave both of us an opportunity to be a part of this project and evolve over the period of these months.
