The Uttarakhand government is planning to provide a pension to Anganwadi workers and helpers after they retire. This is exciting news for many dedicated workers who help children and families in the community.
What is the Pension Plan?
The government has proposed a pension of ₹3,000 per month for Anganwadi workers and helpers once they retire. This pension will help them have financial support after they stop working. Currently, Uttarakhand has around 40,000 Anganwadi workers, and many more positions are available. This pension plan will make their future more secure.
Why is This Important?
Anganwadi workers do a lot of important work, like teaching young children, providing nutritious food, and supporting families in villages. They play a big role in the development of children and the health of mothers. By providing them with a pension, the government is recognizing their hard work and ensuring that they are taken care of after they retire.
What’s Next?
The government is still working on the details of the pension scheme. Once it’s approved, it will be a great relief for many Anganwadi workers and their families, giving them more peace of mind for the future.
This pension plan is a step towards making sure that Anganwadi workers, who contribute so much to the community, get the recognition and support they deserve.
