Anganwadi workers in Karnataka not paid for phone data

KARWAR: Mobile phones that were provided to Anganawadi workers to ease their job have turned into a money-draining gadget for them as they are spending from their pockets to recharge phone data packages. “We have to enter data daily, but our mobiles have not been recharged so far,” said an Anganawadi worker in Karwar.

It is better if the government takes back these mobile phones and gives us old register log books in the interest of children,” another Anganwadi worker said.
