| Anganwari centres being clandestinely outsourced, govt unaware | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, June 20: The Anganwari Centres being run by the Social Welfare Department under the ICDS project are being outsourced by the persons in-charge at their own whims and fancies under the nose of Department higher ups without even caring for the basic guidelines.
And all this happened when the Minister for Social Welfare Ms Sakina Itoo claims that all was well as strict vigilance being maintained by the department to check the day to day working of the Anganwadi Centres.
According to sources, there were many Anganwadi Centres which runs on outsource basis by the persons in-charge under the nose of Government functionaries. One such centre in Satwari area is running from last 3 years but the department has not inspected the spot even at the single time as a result of which the centers holder are having benefits from government even without devoting needed time to their respective effort, he said.
Pertinently, the children at the AWCs should be goaded to make a habit of using footwear while using toilets. Good hygienic practices are meant to reducing incidence of malnourishment and keeping diseases at bay. As AWCs cater to the children below six years, it is important that the practice of good hygiene starts at this level. "However, most of these centres are not feeding nutritious food to children enrolled there which is against the guidelines, the kids who are small enough to complaint even to their parents are left on the unhygienic dusted without cemented floor" said a parent who opted out his kid from the center due to the apathetic condition of the centers.
The Joint Director of the department informed that there were 28577 centres in the State out of which 28300 were functional and rest were sub-judicial. When contacted, Minister for Social Welfare Ms Sakina Ittoo said department is making some complex for theAWC's but it will take some more time in completion when questioned about the above said conditions of the AWC's. She said though the departmental Teams are inspecting the AWC's in the state regularly to keep check but if people observe a foul they need to feel free to inform to her or the accessible authority. |
