The protest by members of Karnataka State Anganwadi Workers’ Association entered the second day on Tuesday. Thousands of anganwadi workers are camping at the Freedom Park demanding a hike in their minimum wages. Many have come with their children.
Earlier in the day, JD(S) president H.D. Kumaraswamy and Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly Jagadish Shettar met the protesters. The issue also came up for discussion in the State Assembly. A heated argument ensued when the opposition demanded a time slot for the debate on the issue. Mr. Kumaraswamy and Mr. Shettar demanded that the government look at the issue on humanitarian ground and increase the honorarium of anaganwadi workers to ₹10,000.
Responding to this, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that his government has been increasing the honorarium every year since coming to power. Turning the tables on the BJP, he said, the Centre had reduced allocation for ICDS in 2016, which has hit the programme hard. The Centre and State share of ICDS earlier was 90:10 respectively. But, in 2016, Centre reduced its share to 60. As a result, the burden on the State has gone up, yet we have increased honorarium, Mr. Siddaramaiah said.
He asked BJP members to show their commitment by urging the Centre to increase the allocation.
On Monday, the protesters had blocked Shesadri Road and had camped there overnight. “The workers are upset as the State government has not met their demand of increasing honorarium to ₹10,000 and monthly wages to ₹ 7,500. The government has increased salaries only by ₹1,000 and ₹ 500 for helpers,” said S. Varlakshmi, CITU.
Over 20 lakh persons, primarily women, work in anganwadis to implement key schemes of the Centre and the State.
