They would get the insurance cover under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Package
Anganwadi workers and helpers involved in COVID-19-related duties will now be given an insurance cover of ₹ 50 lakh under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Package, a senior official said on Tuesday.
The Women and Child Development Ministry official said the anganwadi workers and helpers who are engaged in activities such as COVID-19 awareness and surveillance drives and door-to-door distribution of ration will be covered under the scheme.
"They (anganwadi workers and helpers) are now covered under the insurance cover of ₹50 lakh under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Package for the entire period of the pandemic beginning March 11, 2020,” the official said.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
