May 12, 2024

Agartala (Tripura) [India], May 12 : In response to a directive issued by the esteemed High Court, the Tripura Anganwadi Workers' Association convened an organisational meeting on Sunday.
A year ago, a case was filed in the High Court advocating for the attainment of graduate status for the Anganwadi workers and helpers. The verdict of this case, rendered recently, has compelled the state government to adhere to the directives laid out in the 1972 Act, mandating full-fledged graduate status for Anganwadi workers and helpers.
The court's decision has injected urgency into the proceedings, aiming to exert pressure on the government for swift implementation. Today's organisational meeting serves as a tangible manifestation of this urgency, as the Tripura Anganwadi Workers' Association strategizes and mobilises for the fulfilment of their rightful demands.
The directive from the High Court underscores the significance of recognising the invaluable contributions of Anganwadi workers and helpers in the state. With their pivotal role in providing essential services to communities, ensuring their recognition as graduates is not just a matter of fairness but also a recognition of their dedication and service.
The organisational meeting is expected to pave the way for concerted efforts towards ensuring the prompt implementation of the court's directive. It signifies a pivotal moment in the ongoing struggle for the rights and recognition of Anganwadi workers and helpers in Tripura.
