J&K anganwadi workers among lowest-paid in India, receive Rs 600 monthly UT top-up: Centre
Srinagar, Jul 31: Anganwadi workers in Jammu and Kashmir receive one of the lowest additional honorarium top-ups in the country, with the Union Territory providing just 600 per month to Anganwadi Workers (AWWs) and 300 to Anganwadi Helpers (AWHs), the Union Government informed Parliament on Friday. The information was shared by the Ministry of Women and Child Development in a written reply in the Lok Sabha, highlighting wide disparities in additional financial support extended by States and Union Territories to Anganwadi workers under the Mission Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0 scheme. According to the ministry, the Centre provides a monthly honorarium of 4,500 to Anganwadi Workers and 2,250 to Anganwadi Helpers under the cost-sharing arrangement with States and UTs. In addition, workers receive performance-linked incentives of 500 and 250, respectively. With the UT administration's additional top-up, an Anganwadi Worker in Jammu and Kashmir receives 5,600 per month, excluding the performance-linked incentive, while an Anganwadi Helper receives 2,550. The data shows that Jammu and Kashmir's 600 monthly top-up for AWWs is among the lowest in the country. Nagaland provides no additional top-up, while neighbouring Ladakh offers 1,300 to Anganwadi Workers and 650 to Helpers. In contrast, several States provide significantly higher incentives. Kerala pays an additional 8,300 to Anganwadi Workers and 6,800 to Helpers, Tamil Nadu provides 9,780 and 6,270 respectively, while Haryana offers 10,250 and 5,650. Goa tops the list, with additional payments ranging between 15,000 and 23,000 for Anganwadi Workers. The ministry informed Parliament that the central honorarium was last revised on October 1, 2018, when it was increased from 3,000 to 4,500 for Anganwadi Workers and from 1,500 to 2,250 for Helpers. States and UTs are free to provide additional incentives from their own resources. Responding to questions on improving service conditions, the ministry said no decision has been taken to further enhance the central honorarium or restore travel allowances. The Centre reiterated that Anganwadi Workers and Helpers are honorary workers drawn from local communities who provide child care, nutrition and early childhood development services under the Integrated Child Development Services framework. The ministry also highlighted welfare measures available to Anganwadi workers, including 20 days of annual leave, 180 days of paid maternity leave, healthcare coverage of up to 5 lakh under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY, eligibility for the Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maandhan pension scheme, and insurance coverage under the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana. It further said promotion avenues have been expanded, with 50 per cent of Anganwadi Worker posts to be filled through promotion from eligible Helpers and half of Supervisor posts reserved for experienced Anganwadi Workers.

After Narco Hunt, Now Graft: Chennithala's "Project Zero" Takes Aim at Systemic Corruption
Fresh off the widely-acclaimed success of Operation Toofan: The Narco Hunt, his anti-narcotics campaign that mobilised Kerala's schools against drug abuse, Home and Vigilance Minister Ramesh Chennithala has launched a new front in public life — a people's movement against corruption called Project Zero. Vigilance Whistle: Launch of Vigilance Whistle & Vigilance Commandos programme at Loyola School, Thiruvananthapuram Where Operation Toofan asked citizens to stand up against narcotics, Project Zero — " Vigilance Whistle " — asks them to stand up against graft. Launched jointly by the Vigilance Department and the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB), the initiative goes beyond bribery to target every quiet, systemic form of corruption: officials sitting on files, deliberate delays, decisions made to flatter power rather than serve the public. It is designed to convert ordinary citizens from bystanders into stakeholders — empowering them to report corruption directly, with anonymity strictly protected, through the toll-free number 1064 or at www.vigilance.kerala.gov.in. At the heart of the campaign is Kerala's youth. Following the Toofan template of equipping school students as “ Toofan Warriors ,” college students across the state are being enlisted as " Vigilance Commandos " — a young, visible corps trained to raise awareness and sustain civic pressure against corruption in their own communities. The programme also includes vigilance workshops for officers and an updated Vigilance Manual to keep enforcement current. The launch event, held at Loyola School Auditorium in Thiruvananthapuram, saw Minister Chennithala inaugurate the campaign alongside popular film actor Nivin Pauly, who became the first Vigilance Commando and administered the anti-corruption pledge to students gathered from schools and colleges across the state. Minister Chennithala said, " Corruption is not only about accepting a bribe. When a citizen's file is delayed without reason, when an official's ego must be satisfied before a rightful service is delivered, that too is corruption — and it will not be tolerated. No matter who is involved, even if it is me, people must have the courage to speak up. Project Zero is a people's movement to bring corruption down to zero, and to build a Kerala where honesty is rewarded, not punished ." The Minister added that officials found to have taken bribes to clear files — even in cases already closed — will have those files reopened for review, with strict action against anyone found guilty. He also announced that honest, upright officials will be identified and rewarded, and that recruitment into Vigilance will prioritise officers screened for integrity and genuine commitment to public service. Actor Nivin Pauly, addressing students at the launch, said that a robust system of governance can only be built by a citizenry willing to respond and hold those in power accountable. He noted that a mindset which glorifies shortcuts over honest effort is itself part of the culture of corruption, and that it falls to the next generation—one that asks questions and demands evidence—to help reverse it. The event was chaired by Kazhakootam MLA V. Muraleedharan, with Governor's Secretary Dr. K. Vasuki IAS attending as chief guest. VACB Director and DGP Manoj Abraham IPS delivered the keynote address, with senior police officials and Loyola institution heads in attendance. Students from schools and colleges across the state received badges from the Minister, formally inducting them as Vigilance Commandos. Project Zero follows the interstate momentum built by Operation Toofan and marks Chennithala's expansion from narcotics enforcement into a broader, youth-anchored campaign for institutional integrity — reinforcing a governance narrative built on transparency, citizen participation, and zero tolerance for corruption at any level. vigilance.kerala.gov.in To report corruption: Toll-free 1064 (informant identity kept strictly confidential)
