Taking exception to the alleged attempt at ‘privatising the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) programme,’ the local unit of the Karnataka State Anganwadi Workers’ Association has decided to launch a protest across the district from February 2.

The government had decided to allow non-governmental organisations to maintain several anganwadi centres in Ballari, Belagavi, Bidar and Bengaluru, Manjula Raj, president of the association, said here on Tuesday. Ms. Raj was addressing a press conference here. Tanuja, Prameela were present.
