The training consisted of 35 various topics and 10 different resource persons who had trained the AWW during 10 days of training.  The classes are very precise, informative, motivational and an eye opener for most of the AWW trainees. The topics were delivered along with skilled based knowledge, recognizing the potentialities and refreshing them with action songs, rhymes, art works, art displaying, and Ice-breaking games and so on. The AWW trainees were taught child psychology to a certain extent and gave basic trips to deal with the children with mental ability and mental care. The Anganwadi teachers were cautioned to care for the blooming hearts who are entrusted to them at the very age of their first learning in an informal education. The resource persons have enlightened the AWW about the developmental age of the child both in physics and psychic.  Most of the teachers participated intensively and interacted as a group in the process of learning. The AWW trainees expressed that overall the training was satisfactory, an eye opener, and innovative in the primary teaching level and skilled based training.
