The plug-in component was designed as a part of the thesis project ‘Anganwadi as a Kit of Parts’. It is a temporary infrastructure in which health check-ups and immunization takes place and was thought of to be a good solution to enable the implementation of the services at the Anganwadi Centre to the best potential as opposed to having a more permanent infrastructure as this infrastructure is one which is shared by multiple institutions; on days when health check-ups and immunization occurs, it halts at the Anganwadi Centre, and on other days, it is taken to nearby Government Schools where it functions as a temporary reading space. In this way, the funds required for the implementation of this infrastructure gets divided between multiple institutions.
The attached GIF was created with the aim to:
-Demonstrate the functioning of the plug-in component
-Aid the narrative to explain the thesis project undertaken
-Understand the existing scenario of the current schemes related to AWCs
-Understand the nature of usage of the plug-in component in relation to the Anganwadi
-Understand the nature of the design intervention undertaken

SketchUp and Photoshop are the softwares that were used to make the GIF. Profile lines were made around the plug in component to emphasise it.
