Childcare services can be found at a number of Delhi sites, such as the Red Fort, Purana Qila, and Humayun's Tomb.Superintendent archaeologist Praveen Singh (Delhi circle) confirmed this, estimating that the facility would probably be operational by July.Officials said that the daycare center's rooms are around 10 by 8 feet and can hold two to three women at a time. "Water, a changing table, and a single bed will be provided," an ASI representative stated. Additionally, a staff member will be on hand to ensure the privacy of nursing moms and assist them in visiting the monument.According to officials, this installation was supposed to have begun sooner but was postponed because of the National Green Tribunal's construction activity restriction.

The Jantar Mantar in Delhi is one of them. All of them were constructed between 1724 and 1730 AD, when Aurangzeb's death had caused the Mughal Empire to fall. Astronomical observations were routinely conducted at the Delhi Observatory when it was finished in 1724 AD. A fresh collection of tables was created using these observations. With "yantra" denoting the instruments and "mantra" denoting the formula, Jai Singh named his observatory Jantar Mantar.
