[New Delhi] Maneka Would Ask States To Pay More To 24 Lakh Anganwadi Workers
The WCD minister Maneka said In Parliament while it is not possible for her to increase the remuneration especially with the 60:40 devolution of funds between Centre and State, the state governments pay additional money to them.
Referring to UP which according to data provided by her pays Rs 200 as additional honorarium,
Maneka Sanjay Gandhi said they could ask states to pay more to Anganwadi workers.
Smt Gandhi also said the Centre was “trying to do other things which it can’t do in terms of money for Anganwadi workers” like providing a maternity leave of 180 days,
insurance cover, awards,
uniforms and also preference for the
position of supervisor, which means a jump in their package.
Minister said Anganwadi workers across the country have been “misused” for over four decades by making them work extra hours for even attending political meetings or greeting VIPs, which has been banned now,
During the Question Hour, members expressed concern over the remunerations paid to Anganwadi workers saying Rs 3000 to them and Rs 1500 for Anganwadi helpers was not at all adequate compensation for the work they do.
The Minister said there were around 24 lakh Anganwadi workers, who were technically required to work only a few hours as it was not an 8-hour job.
However, the “actual fact” is that over the 40 years of the programme, they have been “misused” and “not legally” asked to attend political meetings, greet VIPs or distribute pamphlets. “We have stopped all that,”
She said the Centre is planning to build one lakh Anganwadi centres per year so that all of them have pucca buildings.

[नई दिल्ली]बाल देखभाल संस्थानों के पंजीकरण को अनिवार्य बनाने के लिए केंद्र सरकार ने डिफाल्टर संस्थाओं से कठोरता से निबटने के संकेत दिए | बाल देखभाल संस्थानों के लिए अनिवार्य रूप से पंजीकरण करवाने और इसका अनुपालन न होने पर कठोर दंड दिए जाने का प्रावधान है। इस विधेयक में एक साल तक का कारावास और कम से कम एक लाख रुपए का जुर्माना या दोनों सज़ाएं देने का प्रस्ताव है|यह जानकारी केंद्रीय महिला एवं बाल विकास मंत्री श्रीमती मेनका संजय गांधी ने में एक प्रश्न के उत्तर में राज्यसभा के पटल पर रखी |
श्रीमती मेनका संजय गांधी ने बताया कि किशोर न्याय (बच्चों की देखभाल और संरक्षण) अधिनियम, 2000 के अधीन बाल गृहों, आश्रय घरों आदि सहित ऐसे बाल देखभाल संस्थानों के लिए जहां बच्चों की आवासीय देखभाल सुविधाएं हैं, पंजीकरण का प्रावधान है। इस अधिनियम के अधीन पंजीकृत 1389 बाल देखभाल संस्थान हैं, जो एकीकृत बाल संरक्षण योजना (आईसीपीएस) के तहत वित्तीय सहायता प्राप्त कर रहे हैं। सरकार को यह पता है कि अनेक आवासीय देखभाल सुविधाओं में इसका अनुपालन नहीं हो रहा है और उन्हें दंडित नहीं किया जा रहा है, क्योंकि किशोर न्याय अधिनियम में 6 महीने की अवधि के अंदर पंजीकरण न कराने पर कोई दंड देने का प्रावधान नहीं है। इस अधिनियम के तहत छह महीने की अवधि के अंदर संस्थान का पंजीकरण होना चाहिए।

These days are occasions to celebrate the Girl Child, and to rededicate ourselves to providing her more opportunity and a better future.”

While regretting the sex selective elimination she says “Today, we are proud that we are one of the fastest growing economies in the world. But the paradox remains that the girl child is denied the right to be born. It is a matter of great concern that gender biased sex selective elimination is continuing in many parts of our country.
