Anganwadi workers seek revision in schedule across Karnataka as heat keeps many children away
The HinduAs attendance has declined in anganwadis owing to the intense heat, anganwadi workers have urged the State government to revise the functioning hours from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. in all districts, like the way it is being done in the eight districts of north Karnataka, including Kalaburagi and Raichur, during summer. Anganwadis are running in many places in North Karnataka in tin sheds and there is no fan facility,” said an anganwadi worker from Belagavi district. S. Varalakshmi, president of the Karnataka State Anganwadi Employees’ Association, said: “Anganwadi children and workers across the State are suffering from the high temperature this year. Just as the State government revised the schedule of anganwadis in North Karnataka, the timings of anganwadis should be changed in all districts across the State.”
