Congress Demands Better Pay and Resources for Gujarat Anganwadi Workers

Congress Demands Better Pay and Resources for Gujarat Anganwadi Workers

Anganwadi workers in Gujarat, who help care for children, are not being paid enough according to a Gujarat High Court ruling.

Amit Chavda, from the Gujarat Congress, wants the government to follow the court's order and pay these workers the wages they are owed.

The Congress also wants more Anganwadi centers built to match the state's population.

They are concerned about high rates of malnutrition in Gujarat, with many of the most malnourished districts in the country being located there.

The Congress says the state government has failed to address malnutrition despite spending money on the issue.

They believe these centers can play a vital role in eliminating malnutrition.

They also highlight that the Anganwadi centers are currently facing problems due to limited resources.
