A group of eunuchs has adopted an Anganwadi centre - a child care facility - in Panna district of Madhya Pradesh, earning praise from Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
   Â
"Some eunuchs have adopted aganwadi centre number 17 in Panna district of impoverished Bundelkhand region of the state," an official of the MP public relations department said.
   Â
"Kinnar samaj's (eunuchs') step to adopt an Anganwadi is praiseworthy and wonderful," Chouhan said in a statement. Thanking them for their noble gesture, the chief minister said their endeavour would help improve the facility.Â
   Â
Last month, while addressing a function here, Chouhan had appealed to the affluent people in the society to come forward and adopt Anganwadi centres.Â
   Â
"A person who is well-off should adopt an anganwadi and help in providing nutritious diet to children. I have adopted two such facilities," Chouhan had said.
