CHENNAI: : A section of Nochikuppam residents are a happy lot, for the balwadis built under the Integrated Child Development Scheme has been renovated after the December 26, 2004 tsunami.
Thanks to the efforts of Asha for Education, a non-governmental organisation, three balwadis have been renovated at a cost of Rs 2.50 lakhs. They were opened on Saturday.
Dhilshath, a teacher in one of the balwadis, said that when the tsunami struck, half of the building went under water. It was badly damaged. About 50 children used to stay in the centre.
One of the mothers said that after the devastation, the number of children visiting the balwadi had come down. With the renovation, she hoped, more would come.
