New Delhi: Tirupati MP Maddila Gurumurthy raised a crucial demand in Parliament Zero Hour, urging the central government to provide fair wages to Anganwadi workers, ANMs, ASHA workers, and resource persons working under SERP and MEPMA schemes.
Need for Government Intervention
Despite playing a key role in public health, child welfare, and rural development, these workers continue to receive meager salaries. MP Gurumurthy stressed that the central government must implement the minimum wage law to ensure fair compensation for their efforts.
The Backbone of Government Programs
- Anganwadi workers – Crucial in child health and nutrition
- ANMs & ASHA workers – Pillars of rural healthcare
- SERP & MEPMA resource persons – Essential for self-help groups and employment programs
Will the Government Take Action?
The MP urged the Union Government to take legislative steps to resolve these wage issues. His demand is expected to receive support from MPs across different states.
