During 2025-26, Project Ankur operated 7 daycare centres across Pune, providing safe and nurturing environments for the children of construction workers. The centres are located at Nyati Emerald (Sus), Envogue-1 (Mundhwa), CC1 Beharay-Rathi Group (Kothrud), Gagan Myra (Kondhwa), Nyati Elenor (Bibvewadi), Envogue-2.0 (Ankurdi), and Presidential Towers – Ceratec Constructions (Ravet).

Through these centres, a total of 129 children benefitted from structured early childhood learning, play-based education, creative and artistic activities, communication skill development, physical recreation, and health and nutrition awareness. The initiative successfully reduced children’s vulnerability at construction sites by offering safe, child-friendly spaces and ensuring access to education, balanced meals, and personal safety guidance.

Regular parental engagement and community involvement further strengthened child protection mechanisms and reinforced holistic development. By combining education, health, nutrition, and social development, Project Ankur has contributed significantly to the well-being of children from marginalized construction-worker families, reflecting YGVM’s commitment to ensuring every child enjoys a safe and empowering childhood.
