At Makkala Jagriti, your work becomes part of a larger mission — creating spaces where children and youth can learn, grow, and thrive. Every role contributes to meaningful change on the ground.
If you’re driven by purpose and want your work to matter, you will find a place with us. Here, you join a team committed to building an inclusive, supportive ecosystem for the communities we serve — and for each other.
Our goal is to ensure that every child in Anganwadis experiences nurturing, stimulating early education that supports school readiness and lifelong learning – making quality preschool education a way of life.
We take an ecosystem approach to early childhood education — nurturing children, empowering caregivers, and strengthening the systems around them. Our work is built on four interconnected pillars:

We transform Anganwadis into child-friendly, vibrant spaces that encourage play, curiosity, and early learning. Facilitators model nurturing, positive behaviour so children feel secure and engaged.
We train Anganwadi workers, helpers in developmentally appropriate practices, child-centred pedagogy, and early stimulation methods to improve preschool teaching and care.
Through workshops and demonstrations, we help parents understand early childhood development, milestones, and home-based learning. We also build community networks that share responsibility for children’s growth.
We work with Anganwadi supervisors and department officials to strengthen preschool practices at a system level. Through capacity building, mentoring, and sharing learnings from the field, we support the adoption of child-centred approaches that can be sustained and scaled across regions.

I have been teaching for two decades, but I feel only now I am making a difference to my role. I feel bad that I was not able to provide this kind of learning environment for children before. I wish I was trained on all these aspects. Today my Anganwadi is called “Kannada convent
During my field visits, I have noticed a positive shift in the mindset of supervisors and teachers. While teachers were previously aware of ECCE, it was neglected. Now, they are prioritizing ECCE in their Anganwadi Centers. In our meetings, supervisors are being recognized for their efforts, and the best AWC workers are being acknowledged for effectively implementing the training topics.
