Tamil Nadu: Childline workers’ salaries increased after one-year delay

New Indian Express  

CHENNAI: After a delay of a year, the Department of Child Welfare and Special Services has increased the salaries of childline workers across the state. At district-level child helplines, coordinators’ salaries have increased from Rs 14,000 to Rs 28,000 and counsellors’ pay has increased from Rs 8,000 to Rs 23,000. Similarly, childline supervisors will now draw Rs 21,000, up from Rs 8,000 and case workers’ salaries have increased from Rs 8,000 to Rs 18,000. The department must ensure that the workers receive contracts for three to five years, as many social workers earning minimal salaries fear the scheme could be discontinued like the National Child Labour Project.
