The Urban Community Development (UCD) department tabled the proposal during the Women Child Welfare Committee meeting, which was held earlier this week. It is expected to get approval in the committee’s next meeting.

According to the proposal, the day care centres will be established at Sun City, Shivajinagar and Yerawada. Civic officials said 22 NGOs had approached them to undertake this project, out of which S N Associates, Shrimati Mirabai Samajseva Pratishthan and Vatsalya Pratishthan have been finalised. They will charge a monthly fee of Rs 1,000 per child, while PMC employees looking to send their kids to the facility will be asked to shell out Rs 500.
