Madhya Pradesh Revenue and Transport Minister Govind Singh Rajput said the government accepted your demand and increased the salary. You will get further facilities also.
The rest rooms will also be made in Surkhi Assembly for Asha workers, he said.
The Anganwadi workers, assistants and Asha workers of Surkhi assembly constituency were honored in Qila Kothi in Sagar district.
In a terrible epidemic like Corona, you have worked in every village without caring for your life, the minister said.
We and our government appreciate your unique work. Taking care of children, protecting them from diseases like malnutrition and taking care of the health of pregnant women is a challenging task, which you are doing with full dedication, Rajput said.
You also have your own problems while working at Anganwadi centres. I and my government have been worrying about these problems from time to time, he said.
The government has increased the salary considering your demands and the facilities will also increase in future, the Reevenue and Transport Minister Govind Singh Rajput said.
Minister Rajput was addressing the conference held in honor of Anganwadi workers, assistants, ASHA workers and mini workers of Surkhi assembly constituency in Qilakothi on Tuesday.
Minister Rajput said that we think that whatever schemes are prepared and sent by the state and central government, you people deliver them to every house in the village within a short time.
This is a very responsible and challenging job. We have respected every person of every society. We wanted that these brave women of ours should also be respected, he said.
Rajput said that is why I have called you here.
Minister Rajput said that when Corona disease spread, every person was hiding at home. But without caring for your life, you delivered nutritious food to every home and also got vaccination done in the health centers set up and also distributed kits to stay healthy.
Our Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan is very sensitive, when the demand for increasing your salary came to us, we discussed it with the Chief Minister and he immediately issued orders to increase the salary, Rajput said.
You have many more problems which we will solve in the coming time. Minister Rajput said that there is no place for Asha workers to sit, for which a plan will soon be completed by making a rest room in the assembly constituency.
This is a matter of health services but all of you also make a big contribution in the great yagya like elections.
In the coming time, this Mahayagya is going to happen in which you have to sacrifice yourself.
Minister Rajput said that we have called you. You have come to your brother’s house, so you will not be sent away without a gift. In the program, Minister Rajput and former District Panchayat President Savita Govind Singh Rajput honored Anganwadi workers by showering flowers.
In the program, former District Panchayat President Savita Govind Rajput said that every house in rural areas has a Tulsana, in which a Tulsi plant is planted, which we take care of like children. Tulsi blesses us and we remain healthy. In the same way, you take care of children aged 0 to 6 years and their mothers in your Anganwadi center like Tulsi.
That’s why I tell you that you are the Tulsi of our Anganwadi centres. It is your big responsibility to keep the health of children healthy and protect them from malnutrition, she said.
For this, the government provides you with necessary medicines, nutritious food etc. and also provides vaccination. You are fulfilling your responsibilities with great effort, I salute you with folded hands, she said.
District Panchayat President Heera Singh Rajput said that our BJP government has given you the title of Ladli Behna. To improve the financial condition of every sister, the government is giving Rs 1250 per month. This amount will reach Rs 3000 in future. Chief Minister Shivraj Singh has increased your respect and self-respect by fulfilling the duty of Rakhi. He said that there is still a shortage of Anganwadi center buildings, recently we have approved 37 buildings, work will be done in this direction in future also.
