&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;A large number of vacant Anganwadi posts and non-operationalisation of approved centres are in 5 states alone and are directly impacting nutrition of children and women.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha, Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Zubin Irani said that 1.93 lakh posts were lying vacant in Anganwadis across the country at various levels. Out of these 1.29 lakh posts lying vacant in five states alone -- 50,670 are in Uttar Pradesh, 33,439 in West Bengal, 19,478 in Maharashtra, 15,720 in Tamil Nadu and 9,828 in Bihar (see chart).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;/upload/images/Chart%20Vacant%20posts%20in%20Anganwadi%20in%20Major%20States.jfif&quot; style=&quot;height:371px; width:767px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Anganwadis, mostly run by women, play a vital role in providing nutrition to children and women from the deprived sections. With such a large number of posts lying vacant and non-operationalisation of all approved Anganwadi centres, there has been a direct impact on nutrition of poor children and women.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Union Minister, in answer to another question related to nutrition, told Parliament that 9.27 lakh children aged between 6 months and 6 years were suffering from extreme malnutrition, out of which four lakh children are in Uttar Pradesh alone.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Commenting on the vacant posts of Anganwadi workers and helpers in Uttar Pradesh, Veena Gupta, president of the Anganwadi Federation in the state, told NewsClick says that more than in reality, one lakh posts were lying vacant in UP alone. Citing an instance, she said that suddenly the authorities, citing an earlier revoked order, decided to stop the honorarium being given to helpers and workers aged 62 years and above.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Gupta claimed there have been no new appointments in UP since 2011, and about 10% of Anganwadi centres are completely vacant, adding that about 25% &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;centres will become totally vacant due to the removal of 62-year-old workers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;These workers are currently enagaged in monitoring COVID-19 spread and vaccinations, various surveys, immunisation, and distribution of nutritious meals, and the vacancies would severely affect the lives of millions of children and women, she added.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;At present, there are about 14 lakh approved Anganwadi centres across the country, out of which only 13.87 lakh are operational, that is, 12,265 of the approved Anganwadi centres in the country are not operational.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Out of these, 2,191 posts are of Child Development Project Officers or CDPOs, which make for 31% of the total sanctioned posts. Then there are about 17,000 posts of supervisors, 33% of the total sanctioned posts, and over 71,000 posts of workers and more than 1 lakh posts of assistants or helpers that are lying vacant.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;A large number of vacant Anganwadi posts and non-operationalisation of approved centres are in 5 states alone and are directly impacting nutrition of children and women.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha, Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Zubin Irani said that 1.93 lakh posts were lying vacant in Anganwadis across the country at various levels. Out of these 1.29 lakh posts lying vacant in five states alone -- 50,670 are in Uttar Pradesh, 33,439 in West Bengal, 19,478 in Maharashtra, 15,720 in Tamil Nadu and 9,828 in Bihar (see chart).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;/upload/images/Chart%20Vacant%20posts%20in%20Anganwadi%20in%20Major%20States.jfif&quot; style=&quot;height:371px; width:767px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Anganwadis, mostly run by women, play a vital role in providing nutrition to children and women from the deprived sections. With such a large number of posts lying vacant and non-operationalisation of all approved Anganwadi centres, there has been a direct impact on nutrition of poor children and women.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Union Minister, in answer to another question related to nutrition, told Parliament that 9.27 lakh children aged between 6 months and 6 years were suffering from extreme malnutrition, out of which four lakh children are in Uttar Pradesh alone.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Commenting on the vacant posts of Anganwadi workers and helpers in Uttar Pradesh, Veena Gupta, president of the Anganwadi Federation in the state, told NewsClick says that more than in reality, one lakh posts were lying vacant in UP alone. Citing an instance, she said that suddenly the authorities, citing an earlier revoked order, decided to stop the honorarium being given to helpers and workers aged 62 years and above.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Gupta claimed there have been no new appointments in UP since 2011, and about 10% of Anganwadi centres are completely vacant, adding that about 25% &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;centres will become totally vacant due to the removal of 62-year-old workers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;These workers are currently enagaged in monitoring COVID-19 spread and vaccinations, various surveys, immunisation, and distribution of nutritious meals, and the vacancies would severely affect the lives of millions of children and women, she added.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;At present, there are about 14 lakh approved Anganwadi centres across the country, out of which only 13.87 lakh are operational, that is, 12,265 of the approved Anganwadi centres in the country are not operational.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Out of these, 2,191 posts are of Child Development Project Officers or CDPOs, which make for 31% of the total sanctioned posts. Then there are about 17,000 posts of supervisors, 33% of the total sanctioned posts, and over 71,000 posts of workers and more than 1 lakh posts of assistants or helpers that are lying vacant.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;A large number of vacant Anganwadi posts and non-operationalisation of approved centres are in 5 states alone and are directly impacting nutrition of children and women.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha, Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Zubin Irani said that 1.93 lakh posts were lying vacant in Anganwadis across the country at various levels. Out of these 1.29 lakh posts lying vacant in five states alone -- 50,670 are in Uttar Pradesh, 33,439 in West Bengal, 19,478 in Maharashtra, 15,720 in Tamil Nadu and 9,828 in Bihar (see chart).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;/upload/images/Chart%20Vacant%20posts%20in%20Anganwadi%20in%20Major%20States.jfif&quot; style=&quot;height:371px; width:767px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Anganwadis, mostly run by women, play a vital role in providing nutrition to children and women from the deprived sections. With such a large number of posts lying vacant and non-operationalisation of all approved Anganwadi centres, there has been a direct impact on nutrition of poor children and women.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Union Minister, in answer to another question related to nutrition, told Parliament that 9.27 lakh children aged between 6 months and 6 years were suffering from extreme malnutrition, out of which four lakh children are in Uttar Pradesh alone.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Commenting on the vacant posts of Anganwadi workers and helpers in Uttar Pradesh, Veena Gupta, president of the Anganwadi Federation in the state, told NewsClick says that more than in reality, one lakh posts were lying vacant in UP alone. Citing an instance, she said that suddenly the authorities, citing an earlier revoked order, decided to stop the honorarium being given to helpers and workers aged 62 years and above.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Gupta claimed there have been no new appointments in UP since 2011, and about 10% of Anganwadi centres are completely vacant, adding that about 25% &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;centres will become totally vacant due to the removal of 62-year-old workers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;These workers are currently enagaged in monitoring COVID-19 spread and vaccinations, various surveys, immunisation, and distribution of nutritious meals, and the vacancies would severely affect the lives of millions of children and women, she added.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;At present, there are about 14 lakh approved Anganwadi centres across the country, out of which only 13.87 lakh are operational, that is, 12,265 of the approved Anganwadi centres in the country are not operational.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Out of these, 2,191 posts are of Child Development Project Officers or CDPOs, which make for 31% of the total sanctioned posts. Then there are about 17,000 posts of supervisors, 33% of the total sanctioned posts, and over 71,000 posts of workers and more than 1 lakh posts of assistants or helpers that are lying vacant.&lt;/p&gt;

<p style="text-align:justify">Anganwadis, mostly run by women, play a vital role in providing nutrition to children and women from the deprived sections. With such a large number of posts lying vacant and non-operationalisation of all approved Anganwadi centres, there has been a direct impact on nutrition of poor children and women.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The Union Minister, in answer to another question related to nutrition, told Parliament that 9.27 lakh children aged between 6 months and 6 years were suffering from extreme malnutrition, out of which four lakh children are in Uttar Pradesh alone.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Commenting on the vacant posts of Anganwadi workers and helpers in Uttar Pradesh, Veena Gupta, president of the Anganwadi Federation in the state, told NewsClick says that more than in reality, one lakh posts were lying vacant in UP alone. Citing an instance, she said that suddenly the authorities, citing an earlier revoked order, decided to stop the honorarium being given to helpers and workers aged 62 years and above.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Gupta claimed there have been no new appointments in UP since 2011, and about 10% of Anganwadi centres are completely vacant, adding that about 25% &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">centres will become totally vacant due to the removal of 62-year-old workers.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">These workers are currently enagaged in monitoring COVID-19 spread and vaccinations, various surveys, immunisation, and distribution of nutritious meals, and the vacancies would severely affect the lives of millions of children and women, she added.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">At present, there are about 14 lakh approved Anganwadi centres across the country, out of which only 13.87 lakh are operational, that is, 12,265 of the approved Anganwadi centres in the country are not operational.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Out of these, 2,191 posts are of Child Development Project Officers or CDPOs, which make for 31% of the total sanctioned posts. Then there are about 17,000 posts of supervisors, 33% of the total sanctioned posts, and over 71,000 posts of workers and more than 1 lakh posts of assistants or helpers that are lying vacant.</p>
