The district conference of the Anganwadi Workers’ Federation held in Mysuru on Sunday sought job security, including pension on retirement.
The federation members said that Integrated Child Development Service (ICDS) was launched 49 years ago and anganwadi workers have ensured the success of the project through their unwavering dedication. Though the workers receive ₹11,500 per month as salary and the assistants ₹6,500, there was nothing for them in the form of post-retirement benefits like pension or ESI facility.
Therefore, the federation members, supported by the All-India Trade Union Congress, not only sought ESI facility but also gratuity for such anganwadi workers who retired before April 1, 2023, as per the Gratuity Act. They also wanted the ceiling for gratuity which was fixed at 30 years to be removed.
Senior members of the AITUC attended the conference, which was preceded by a procession of the federation members. A resolution was passed urging the government to strengthen the ICDS and remove the 30-year cap on the calculation of gratuity.
The federation also wanted school uniforms and textbooks for the children of anganwadi workers, besides a pension upon retirement.
