What are teaching learning materials in an Anganwadi?

Teaching learning materials, often shortened to TLM, are objects and resources used to support play, conversation, stories, movement, exploration and age-appropriate learning. They can include books, picture cards, counting objects, blocks, puzzles, art materials, pretend-play resources, music and locally made materials.

Is there one mandatory Anganwadi TLM list for every centre?

Requirements can vary by programme, State or UT, age group and approved procurement norms. This page is a selection framework, not an official mandatory list. Use the latest authorised guidance and local approvals for procurement.

How should TLM support foundational literacy and numeracy?

For young children, TLM should support oral language, listening, stories, sound awareness, mark-making, counting, quantity, comparison, sorting, shapes, patterns and problem-solving through play and interaction rather than formal worksheet pressure.

Are digital screens required for a Smart Anganwadi?

No. A strong early-learning environment can use books, local materials, manipulatives, art, music, movement and outdoor play. Technology should be added only when it serves a clear purpose, is safe for the context and does not replace responsive adult-child interaction.

Can Smart Anganwadi supply TLM for CSR or government projects?

Smart Anganwadi can help map approved project requirements to product categories, activity kits, storage, orientation and implementation support. Final specifications, quantities and procurement must follow the partner scope, applicable standards and authorised approvals.
