Andhra Pradesh is extending strong support to Anganwadi workers, said Women, Child Welfare and Tribal Welfare Minister G. Sandhya Rani. She stated that the coalition government has been addressing their needs one by one. She added that no one listened to Anganwadi problems during the previous government’s rule. However, the new government responded quickly and fulfilled almost all long-pending demands.
The Minister explained several key measures introduced for their welfare. The government implemented gratuity benefits and began offering financial assistance for funeral expenses of deceased Anganwadi workers. She described the decision to convert mini Anganwadi centres into main centres as a historic reform. She also said that the government allocated ₹1 lakh to each centre to upgrade basic facilities.
Furthermore, Minister Sandhya Rani announced that Anganwadi workers received new smartphones with 5G network support. This step aims to improve efficiency and transparency in centre operations. She emphasised that the current government remains highly supportive of Anganwadi workers and continues to prioritise their well-being.
The Minister urged all Anganwadi workers to make full use of these opportunities and cooperate with the state administration. She assured them that more welfare programmes will be introduced in the coming months to strengthen the Anganwadi system further.
