June Maliah’s Zero Hour mention: Whether the government is considering increasing the wages of Anganwadi workers and helpers in keeping with the challenges of ICDS responsibilities
Sir, through you, I would like to raise an important matter related to the Anganwadi workers. …. Sir, the honorarium payable to the Anganwadi workers and helpers under the Anganwadi services was last enhanced almost six years ago by the Union Government vide Ministry of Women and Child Development’s Order dated 20th September, 2018 with effect from October 2018. The wages of Anganwadi workers and helpers were hiked from Rs.3000 to Rs.4500 per month and from Rs.1500 to Rs.2250 per month respectively. … Here, the State Government also contributes 40 per cent to the amount payable to the Anganwadi workers and helpers. .. I would urge the hon. Minister to kindly consider an enhancement of the honorarium keeping in view the challenges of ICDS responsibilities. Thank you, Madam.
