Arunachal: Crèche Facility Inaugurated in Seppa Secretariat
A new crèche facility at Seppa District Secretariat aims to support working mothers and promote gender-inclusive governance.
SEPPA — In a move aimed at strengthening gender-inclusive governance and employee welfare, a crèche facility for the children of staff was inaugurated at the District Secretariat in Seppa, East Kameng district.
The facility was inaugurated by Ealing Tallang, MLA of the 10-Seppa East Assembly Constituency, in the presence of Deputy Commissioner Yashaswini B, Superintendent of Police Shivendu Bhushan, and Additional Deputy Commissioner Manjunath R.
The crèche is an initiative conceptualised by the Deputy Commissioner and funded through the district’s untied funds. It has been designed to provide a safe, secure, and child-friendly environment within the office premises, enabling working parents—particularly mothers—to manage their professional responsibilities with greater ease.

The idea for the facility emerged from observations that several women employees were compelled to bring their young children to the workplace, often affecting their productivity and well-being. The administration sought to address this gap by creating a dedicated space for childcare during office hours.
Speaking at the inauguration, the MLA described the initiative as a progressive and people-centric step, noting its importance in promoting women’s empowerment and fostering a healthier work environment.
