The Congress will increase the honourarium to Accredited Social Health Activists, anganwadi, and midday meal workers by significant amounts, Priyanka Gandhi, Congress leader, said in Khanapur on Sunday. She was speaking at a rally to campaign for party candidate Anjali Nimbalkar.
“Our party has decided to increase the honourarium to ₹15,000 for anganwadi workers, ₹10,000 for mini anganwadi workers, ₹8,000 for ASHAs, and ₹5,000 for midday meal workers,” she said. “Anganwadi workers will get ₹3 lakh and mini anganwadi workers will get ₹2 lakh after retirement. Such amounts will go to their families in the case of death,” she said.
