The workers also demanded a hike in their salaries for Aanganwadi workers from Rupees 3600 to 10000 and for Anganwadi helpers from Rupees 1000 to Rs 8000.
Tasleema Subhan, an Anganwadi worker said: “we are struggling from a long time for our genuine demands as our workers and helpers are made to work on very low rates and no hike in the wages have been given since a long time.”
They also said that they besides doing the Anganwadi work, also perform election duties, examination duties and much more, but are never paid for the extra work.
