Sri Vijaya Puram, Oct. 31: A newly constructed Anganwadi centre and multipurpose hall have opened in Machilane, Ward No. 10, Sri Vijaya Puram, following an investment of approximately ₹40 lakh. The facilities are intended to strengthen access to services for children and mothers while providing residents with a shared venue for social and public activities.
Member of Parliament Bishnu Pada Ray inaugurated the two facilities. Their opening fulfils a long-standing demand raised by residents of the ward, who welcomed the availability of dedicated spaces for child and maternal services and community use.
The Anganwadi centre is expected to provide improved facilities for children and mothers. The multipurpose hall, meanwhile, will serve as a common space for various social and public activities, giving the locality a venue for community gatherings and programmes.

The council’s chairperson, secretary and councillors attended the ceremony, along with BJP state president Anil Tiwari, senior social workers and office-bearers of the BJP and Congress.
