Bhubaneswar, Sept 29 [UDN}:With the objective of further strengthening Anganwadi centres and taking nutrition and health awareness initiatives for children, mothers and adolescent girls to every village, the ‘Angan Ka Utsav’ campaign was launched today.
As part of the initiative, an announcement was made to increase the dress allowance for Anganwadi workers and helpers from ₹1,390 to ₹1,500.
