Priyanka Gandhi urges regularisation of ASHA workers
Priyanka Gandhi, a leader from the Congress party, asked the government to make ASHA workers permanent employees.
ASHA workers are important health workers in rural areas who work very hard but are not given proper recognition or pay.
Priyanka Gandhi said that these workers deserve to be treated fairly and should get the respect they earn.
She also shared the government's reply, which said that ASHA workers are volunteers, not employees.
She believes this is not right and that the workers should be paid properly for their hard work.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra urged the government to regularise ASHA workers.
ASHA workers are frontline health workers in rural areas.
The government considers ASHA workers as volunteers, not employees.
ASHA workers work over 40 hours a week but receive honorariums below minimum wage.
Priyanka Gandhi shared the government's reply in Parliament and criticized it.
