Why Sobati?
Anganwadi centers are the backbone of India’s early childhood ecosystem—supporting children aged 0–6 years, pregnant women, and lactating mothers under the ICDS scheme.
Saamarthya has been granted permission to work across 268 Anganwadi centers in North Pune, with a pilot phase in 16 centers in Baner and surrounding areas.
Sobati exists to ensure that children with developmental delays or special needs are identified early and supported consistently—before gaps widen.
