Today 20th February, 2026, PHUlJHURI Creche and Day Care Centre was inaugurated at Ward No. 16, Barrackpore Municipality, dedicated to the children of informal workers—primarily ragpickers and recycling workers. The inauguration was celebrated with a vibrant community program. This initiative has been launched by SPAN with the generous support of Mobile Creches and EFS.
The Creche was formally inaugurated by Mr. Tarique Muhammad Chowhan, MD & Vice Chairman of EFS. The event was graced by Mr. Surendra Barma, Councillor of Ward No. 13 and Ms. Sabana Parveen, Councillor of Ward No. 16 of Barackpore Municipality.
This centre will provide essential care, protection, and early childhood support to 40 children, creating a safe and nurturing space for their growth and development.
SPAN currently runs 3 Creches in North Bengal for the children of tea garden workers and 1 Creche in Newtown for children of informal workers. Together, we continue building safer childhoods and stronger communities.
