A high- rise building or an overbridge or a monument has the
name of the person who inaugurated it or the one who donated
heavily for the construction, etc. installed on a marble placard right
at the entrance, but what about the ones who actually slog day
in and day out to get the building completed ? The construction
workers are like the unknown soldiers who are not remembered
once the war is over.
Mobile Creche , which was founded by MeeraMahadevan in
1969, helps the construction labourers by looking after their children
for them while the mother is busy working at the site.
The first crèche was a small tent by the Gandhi Centenary
Exhibition site where MeeraMahadevan was moved by the plight of
the children lying on the heaps of rubble while the mother worked.
Today , they run over 50 centres between their three branches in
Delhi, Mumbai and Pune. The crèche is built on the construction
site with the permission from the contractor because, after all, he
should be willing to help to bear some of the nominal expenses
of shelter, water, electricity etc. Some of them do so willingly, some
others have to be coaxed, but in the long run it does prove to
be beneficial for the contractor, because the efficiency of the
mother increases as she is happy and relaxed and not under any
(a) Why have the construction workers been referred to as
‘ unknown soldiers’ ?
(b) Why was the initiative of Mobile Creche taken by
Meera Mahadevan ?
(c) Where are crèches usually built?
(d) How did mobile crèche prove to be beneficial to
the contractor ?
(e) Whose name is written on a high- rise building or
a monument? Who is being ignored?
