Just as Yashoda Maiya nurtured Lord Krishna with values and teachings, Anganwadis should impart the same to children: CM Dr. Mohan Yadav

Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav urged the newly appointed Anganwadi workers and helpers that their responsibility is akin to that of Yashoda Maiya, who nurtured Lord Krishna and imbued him with values, and that they too should care for every child coming to the Anganwadi as if they were Shri Krishna. He said that the appointment letters being given to the new Anganwadi workers and helpers are, in fact, a pledge to ensure children’s smiles, proper nutrition, and the health and safety of mothers. He expressed confidence that these ‘Sisters’ will discharge their duties with full dedication and commitment and will help the state achieve victory in the fight against malnutrition.

Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav addressed Anganwadi workers after handing over appointment letters, issued through a transparent online process, at an event held on Friday in the Assembly’s Committee Hall. Women & Child Development Minister Sushri Nirmala Bhuria, MLA and former minister Smt. Archana Chitnis, Additional Chief Secretary, Shri Neeraj Mandloi and Department Secretary G.V. Rashmi were present during the event. Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav handed over appointment letters to three newly appointed Anganwadi workers and helpers as a symbolic gesture. MLA Archana Chitnis administered an oath to them to perform their duties with sincerity and honesty, contribute to achieving the goal of ‘Viksit Madhya Pradesh @ 2047’ and fully uphold their responsibility in building a well-nourished Madhya Pradesh. The newly appointed workers also observed the proceedings of the Assembly.

Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that even today, in villages, the Anganwadi ‘didi’ enjoys a level of respect that few others receive and that Anganwadi workers and helpers become members of the family. He recalled Prime Minister Shri  Narendra Modi’s statement that the strong foundation of ‘New India’ rests on maternal power and said that Anganwadi sisters are giving it concrete shape. He described them not merely as workers but as the village’s first teachers and nutrition ambassadors, whose efforts are reducing malnutrition among lakhs of children, raising awareness among pregnant women, and helping lower school dropout rates. He added that the state government is running various schemes to make women economically self-reliant and empowered, including increasing reservation limits in urban bodies and government jobs and providing funds to industrial groups for women’s employment.

Women & Child Development Minister Sushri Nirmala Bhuria informed that Madhya Pradesh is the first state in the country to adopt an online process for recruitment at the Anganwadi level. So far, orders have been issued for the appointment of 1,091 Anganwadi workers and 10,984 helpers, and the process to fill the remaining posts is progressing rapidly. She stated that the online portal received 81,704 applications for 2,077 Anganwadi worker posts and 3,17,627 applications for 17,477 helper posts. Symbolically, 50 newly appointed Anganwadi workers and helpers were specially invited to the event. On behalf of all Anganwadi workers and helpers, a letter of thanks was presented to Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav.
