She said, “Margdarshaks would play a pivotal role in the development of our kids.”

Phase 1 will cover 11 districts, while remaining 11 districts would be covered under Phase 2”, she apprised, adding that to make this initiate a huge success, the department with support of the Meraki Foundation has been imparting training to its functionaries. She said that the 15 day long training program for Phase-1 functionaries and Margdarshaks has already been conducted.
