Retired Anganwadi Workers Demand Gratuity Payments
Imagine teachers who help kids and moms are called Anganwadi workers.
They help people in the state.
When they retire, they should get some money called gratuity.
The workers say they have not received their payments even though the Supreme Court has said they should.
The government only gave money to those who retired recently, but not those who retired before April 2023.
Now, the retired workers are asking the government to give them gratuity because it's hard to live without any money.
The retired workers request the government understand their problems.
Retired Anganwadi workers and assistants are demanding gratuity.
The demand follows a Supreme Court directive.
The government has only released gratuity to those who retired after April 2023.
The association represents retired workers from Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts.
The workers played a vital role in government schemes.
