New Delhi : In a significant step towards fostering a more
inclusive, compassionate, and people-centric work environment, Shri Jayant
Chaudhary, Hon’ble Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Skill Development
and Entrepreneurship and Minister of State for Education, Government of India,
inaugurated a new Daycare Facility for Children of employees at Kaushal Bhawan-
the headquarters of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship
(MSDE).
Spread across nearly 600 sq. metres, the new Daycare Facility
offers a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment where children can learn,
play, rest, and grow. The facility features comfortable sleeping and resting
areas, an engaging play and activity zone, age-appropriate learning resources,
child-friendly furniture, hygienic washrooms, and specially designed feeding
and baby-changing rooms to ensure the comfort and well-being of infants and
young children. Staffed by trained caregivers and support personnel, the
DayCare Facility has been thoughtfully designed to cater to the developmental
and care needs of children aged 6 months to 6 years.
The newly inaugurated Daycare facility goes beyond
infrastructure—it embodies a culture that values care, celebrates childhood,
and enables employees to balance professional commitments with family
responsibilities. By bringing quality childcare closer to the workplace, the
initiative aims to support working parents and reflects MSDE’s commitment to
fostering a more inclusive, family-friendly, and people-centric work
environment.
