Anganwadi workers seek better deal
The Hindu
‘We are facing internet connectivity issues in far-flung rural and tribal areas’
A massive dharna was staged by anganwadi workers under the banner of the Anganwadi and Helpers Union at the ICDS Project Office at MVP Colony here on Monday seeking better working conditions. Addressing the workers, union State president Baby Rani alleged that the anganwadi workers were being pressurised by the Union and the State governments to upload the data pertaining to the height and weight of children online, from time to time, though they were not given Internet facility. The mobile phones provided by the then government in 2017, were of inferior quality and were not working properly, she said. Some of the workers had purchased mobile phones with their own money, she said and demanded provision of new mobile phones.More Related News
