AGARTALA, August 20 (TIWN): Resentment has been brewing over the Anganwadi Center workers against the decision of state govt. regarding not regularizing them.

State govt.’s decision of giving one time allowance to the workers which would stand maximum as Rs. 50,000 or to give them 600 and 350 as monthly allowance, has totally deprived the Anganwadi workers, claims the workers.

They further claimed that although the project ICDS goes under the Central Govt. scheme, still the state govt. (if wants) could regularize them. Example already has been given by Pandicheri govt. Not only Pandicheri govt. has regularized the workers, but as well as the workers’ salary has also been increased, claimed Anganwadi workers.

According to the reports, to protest against the decision of state govt. Anganwadi workers have already made a union namely “Anganwadi Karmi and Sahayika Aikya samiti” .

Hence it’s to be mentioned here that left front govt. often begs the Angawadi workers to walk with them in various rallies, but when it comes in the matter salary and regularization the govt. has enough excuses to show.

It’s worthy to mention here that in such clashes the most deprived are those children who come here to learn the basic education.

Since long Anganwadis of Tripura are running in bad shapes. From mid-day-meal to quality of education in every sphere govt. is still failed to sustain the poor people. As a result such chaos arises often in the state. However govt. is used to give its blind eyes into such issues.

ICDS project had been started at Tripura in 1975, in Cong. era which caused the reason of downfall of Cong. So if the situation remains same, this may cause a huge loss to the present ruling govt.
