Anganwadi Workers Union Punjab (CITU)’s struggle for improving supplementary nutrition provided in Anganwadi centers has been thwarted : Harjit Kaur, Subhash Rani
Chandigarh 22 May ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : In a press note issued by Anganwadi Workers Union Punjab (CITU), National General Secretary Usha Rani, State President Harjit Kaur Panjola, General Secretary Subhash Rani, Finance Secretary Amritpal Kaur said that for the past several years, there has been a continuous struggle for improving the quality of nutrition provided to children, pregnant women and lactating mothers in Anganwadi centers and for providing fresh cooked food. The union has been protesting at various levels, burning empty feed envelopes to express its protest, giving statements of various beneficiaries to the department, and drawing the attention of the government to this serious issue through various meetings and demand letters.
As a result of continuous struggle and pressure, the Punjab government has had to change its attitude and now a notification has been issued regarding the implementation of a new recipe for food served in Anganwadi centers. Although the ingredients for making it have not been received yet, the issuance of the notification is a significant victory of the struggle.
The union said that there can be no compromise with the health of children and women coming to Anganwadi centers. Nutritious and fresh food is the right of every beneficiary. The union also demanded that the new recipe be implemented at the ground level as soon as possible and the necessary budget and facilities for this should also be provided immediately. The Anganwadi Workers Union Punjab (CITU) announced that the struggle will continue for the realization of the remaining demands.
