Anganwadi workers gain locals’ support in many villages, intensify agitation

Thousands of Anganwadi workers and helpers staged protests across the State on December 18, demanding that the government solve their long-pending demands.

The strike entered its seventh day and the protestors closed the Pre-schools (Anganwadi Centres). Schemes such as YSR Sampoorna Poshana, YSR Sampoorna Poshana Plus and Take Home Ration (THR), aimed at supplying nutritious diets to children and pregnant women, were effected due to the strike.

Though the District Collectors held meetings and directed the Municipal Commissioners, Village Revenue Officers (VROs), Grama and Ward Sachivalayam staff and Child Development Project Officers (CDPOs) of the Women Development and Child Welfare (WD&CW) Department to open the Anganwadi Centres, very less strength was seen in pre-schools.
