Anganwadi workers stage protest seeking withdrawal of FRS
Addressing the gathering, union honorary president K. Venkatalakshmi said that the implementation of face recognition system (FRS) was causing problems to the anganwadi workers and the State government was not responding to their pleas. Similarly, the 'Poshan Tracker' and 'Bala Sanjeevani' apps were giving mental tension to the workers as they were not trained on how to use the apps nor were they provided good quality mobile phones.
The anganwadi workers were also not being given the benefits of various welfare schemes as they were not considered as government employees. She said that the government was aware that anganwadi workers were not government employees, but was doing injustice to them by not implementing schemes like 'Thalliki Vandanam'. The government also failed to issue G.O. regarding 'minis' (anganwadi workers working in mini centres), she added.
Union honorary president Mani, general secretary Devi, leaders Padma, Sridevi, Shoba, Eswaramma, Tulasi, Chinnamalu and Suryakala were among those who participated. The leaders presented a memorandum of their demands to the Nodal Officer Jhansi after the protest.
