At a time when reconstruction works in flood-ravaged Uttarakhand is going at a snail's pace, a Bengaluru-based pharma company, Strides Acrolab, has completed the construction of four anganwadi centres in Uttarkashi district in six months.

The company through its foundation had evinced interest in the reconstruction of eight damaged anganwadi centres at Purola block in Uttarkashi. The company roped in Anil Jaggi, head of the Society For Inclusive Development (SFID), a Dehradun-based non-governmental organisation, for the local support.

Subsequently, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between Strides Acrolab and the district administration of Uttarkashi in January to start the construction of the anganwadi centres.
