- Ranchi to Host New Regional Centre of SPNIWCD on July 4, 2025
- The Centre will serve as a Training Hub for over 7 lakh Functionaries across 115 districts
- National Institute of Public Cooperation and Child Development renamed as Savitribai Phule National Institute of Women and Child Development
Union Women and Child Development (WCD) Minister and Koderma MP Annpurna Devi announced that Ranchi will host a new regional center of the Savitribai Phule National Institute of Women and Child Development (SPNIWCD), set to be inaugurated on July 4, 2025. The center will serve as a training hub for over 7 lakh functionaries across 115 districts in Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha, and West Bengal under flagship initiatives like Mission Shakti, Mission Vatsalya, and Mission Saksham Anganwadi & Poshan 2.0.
The WCD Ministry mentioned, "Previously, training needs of these four states were partially catered through regional centres located in Guwahati and Lucknow, posing logistical challenges for many functionaries due to long travel distances. The new regional centre will also offer the Advanced Diploma and Child Guidance and Counselling, and will facilitate better accessibility for front-line functionaries in these Eastern region states."
The National Institute of Public Cooperation and Child Development (NIPCCD) in India has been renamed SPNIWCD, under the leadership of Union Minister for WCD Annpurna Devi. The institute has its headquarters in New Delhi and regional centres in Bangalore, Guwahati, Lucknow, Indore, and Mohali, serving as an apex body for training, research, documentation, and capacity building in women and child development. The renaming reflects India's commitment to women and child-centric development, ensuring decentralised access and region-specific interventions for women's empowerment and child welfare.
The inauguration of a new regional centre in Ranchi will significantly advance decentralized, region-specific capacity building in the Eastern region, enabling tailored strategies for women's empowerment and child welfare, thereby strengthening flagship missions at the grassroots level.
