‘Work for pittance to run key govt schemes’: Sonia Gandhi raises issues of ASHA, Anganwadi workers in RS
New Delhi, Dec 16 (SocialNews.XYZ) Former Congress President and Rajya Sabha member Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday highlighted the ongoing distress faced by millions of women frontline workers during Zero Hour, calling for urgent reforms to support ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activists), Anganwadi workers and helpers, and community resource persons under the National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM). Gandhi described these government initiatives as vital pathways for women's empowerment but lamented that the workers remain “overburdened”, underpaid, and undervalued despite their indispensable contributions to public health, nutrition, and child development.
