Anganwadi Federation Urges Centre and States to Implement SC Ruling on Gratuity -Ronak Chhabra

In a convention held at BTR Bhawan in the national capital, the CITU-backed federation also gave a call for a four-day ‘Mahapadav’ from July 26 in New Delhi.

New Delhi: Demanding that the central and the state governments provide gratuity, a basic social security measure, to all the anganwadi caregivers in the country, the All India Federation of Anganwadi Workers and Helpers (AIFAWH) on Saturday called for a four-day ‘Mahapadav’ from July 26 at New Delhi.

In a convention held at BTR Bhawan in the national capital, the Centre of Indian Trade Union (CITU) -backed federation added that the Centre must take urgent measures to implement a Supreme Court judgement that had earlier this year underscored the need to better the service conditions of the anganwadi workers and helpers in the country.

In April this year, a Bench of Justices Ajay Rastogi and A.K. Oka held that anganwadi caregivers under the central government’s erstwhile Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) – now known as Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0 scheme – were entitled to gratuity under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.

The 72-page judgement, which also asked the Centre and the states to “take serious note of their plight” as the all-women workforce is paid meagre remuneration despite performing a series of vital services at the grassroots level, was delivered in an appeal filed by the anganwadi workers and organisations including CITU-affiliated Gujarat State Anganwadi Karamchari Sangh.
