• Mothers who come with their newborn babies to the Secretariat premises are unable to breastfeed their babies due to lack of privacy. Because of this, children start crying from hunger. Women feel uncomfortable while breastfeeding in public places, in such places women are not able to change even the diapers of children.
• Realizing the above problems, it was instructed to set up a maternity room on the ground floor of the Mini Secretariat through the Department of Women and Child Development.
• The purpose of setting up a maternity room is to provide such mothers with a secluded place where they can breastfeed their child. They will also be able to sit here comfortably during the working hours.
