HONERATIUM OF ANGANWARI WORKERS/ HELPERS ENHANCED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA BUT NOT RELEASED BY THE STATE GOVERNMENT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH

1.                   The Government of India had made announcement for the increase of honeratium of Anganwari woerks/ helpers through out the country to the tune of Rs.1500/- per month w.e.f. April, 2011. The Union Government had made provisions to the State Government on this account. But it is surprising that the State Government of Himachal Pradesh, has not yet increased the honerarium of the Anngalwari Workers/ Helpers in the State so far. Neither their month honerarium has been increased and paid to them but the arrears have also not been paid. The poor workers/ helpers are helpless with the ignorance to them by the State Government. These poor women are crying for their legitimate financial benefits but the State Govt. is not hearing to their grievances since long. The posts of Supervisors are vacant which are about 500 but the State Government has not filled up these posts from amongest Anganwari Workers. These workers are being harassed un necessarilty by the State Government of Himachal Pradesh. The budget/ funds received by the State Government from the Government of India, it seems that the same has been used for other purposes thereby deniying the legitimate rights of them. How, the State Government can get favour from them and their other family members during the coming next Vidhan Sabha Elections during during this year end, 2012. This is a matter of grate concern to all , how the State Government is functioning and treating them grass root level women workers in the State.

ELECTIONS IN FIVE STATES--PRESENT POLTICS

                   As per the announcement made by the Chief Election Commission of India, the election process in five States i.e. Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttrakhand, Goa and Manipur has since been started. The all leading political parties are making their announcements for getting votes to their respective parties. All the parties contesting elections are not making any effective measures for the erradication of un employment amongst the the educated un employed youths. This has effected the economy of India to day. The other espect is inflation which is hard hitting the common man. The third one is corruption. The corruption at the top political circles, beaurocratic level, big business houses is down grading the country every moment. The movement started for the erredication of corruption by Anna Hazara and his team is the need of the hour. The forth one is black money deposited in foreign Swiss banks. The Government of India U.P.A. is not at all serious in respect of all these problems of the country. Rather, the U.P.A. Government is harassing every those persons, organisations who so ever is fighting on account of these problems. Before independence, the Britishers have looted the country and our ancesstors got independence after sacrifying their lives. But now, the Indians are selling the country's intersts for their vested interests. Those who are involved in such activities and responsible for un employment, inflation, corruption and black money should be put in jails and exemplary punishments should be got awarded besides confection of their ill got money to the Govt. exchequire. This is the need of the hour. Sita Ram Dhiman, Senior B.S.P. Leader Himachal Pradesh, at Shimla.
