Share Article Anganwadi workers stage a demonstration in Virudhunagar on Friday. The workers demanded that ₹10 lakh instead of ₹1 lakh gratuity should be given to the teachers and ₹5 lakh instead of ₹50,000 gratuity should be given to the ayahs. Hundreds of anganwadi workers and ayahs staged a demonstration at Virudhunagar Collectorate pressing for regularisation of service, time scale of pay, gratuity and pension. The protest was led by district president of Tamil Nadu Anganwadi Workers and Helpers Association P. Esther Rani. “After having put in 35 years of service, I get only ₹13,000 as monthly salary. The work of teachers like us does not end at anganwadi centres,” she said.
