 people's dispatch we are reporting from the capital city of India New Delhi from Jantar Mantar where over 500 women's team workers have gathered in protest. Team workers are called scheme workers because they are responsible for implementing some government social welfare schemes. They are primarily women, namely three kinds of scheme workers are present here, Angmanwadi, Asha and mid-day meal workers. The responsibilities include providing essential health care services in rural, remote and poor areas and running school lunch programs in government schools for students and also providing nutritional services for young and expecting mothers as well as children between the ages of 0 to 6 years. So they are responsible for providing some very essential services to Indian citizens particularly in marginalized, rural and poor areas but the government of India does not even recognize them as workers. So we are here today to talk to these women, to learn about their demands and to learn about the struggle that has been going on for many, many years. Three months since Angmanwadi workers have been sitting at their homes and the government has never heard of them. The main demand is recognition as workers, payment of minimum wages, social security and against privatization. And these demands have been raised for long years and the Indian Labour Conference has agreed to that. The Indian Labour Conference in 45th session discussed this and it has recommended that they should be recognized as workers and they should be paid minimum wages and DA, they should be paid social security benefits and it should not be privatized. Despite that successive governments have not done anything. We feel that since 2014 the government has always made false promises. But along with making false promises, during Diwali the announcement was made by Modi and live telecast was made in which Anganwadi workers and Asha workers were also called. And in that announcement was made that Diwali will be celebrated and in which Anganwadi workers' elders, Anganwadi helpers and Asha workers' elders were announced, which has not been done yet. From birth to death, everyone's account book is kept by us. We keep it. Pregnant women have their child until they are 6 years old. Till then we keep their account book and until they grow up, they are named in our service. When COVID started, it was said that everyone will stay at home in COVID. But Asha workers were the same, who were in the field, who were going home in the middle of the day. I was working in COVID, talking face to face with people. I was telling them to keep their children safe in COVID. How to stay there, how to keep their home safe. And the work given to us by the children, which is our work, we were told that we had to go and talk to you in COVID. At that time we have worked with COVID patients. COVID was only for the people, not for us. On the one hand, the government says that Asha workers are essential services. You can't do anything. You can't do anything. If you do anything, we will put a smile on your face. On the one hand, they are saying this. And on the other hand, when we are demanding them for treatment, we are being told that you are a volunteer. You are self-serve, so as self-serve, we will not give you treatment. So today we have come here in Delhi to talk to the government. That the government should not talk about these two things. That on the one hand, you should say our services are essential. And then on the other hand, you should say that you are self-serve. We have come here today to talk about our rights and rights. We don't get salary. We get salary. We get it in two places. One stays in the state and one stays in the centre. The state has increased us a little. But the centre has not increased anything since the last 3-4-5 years. The midday meal worker works for a total of Rs. 3500. And in a year, after a year, they get their salary of Rs. 8 months. I will tell you the story of Faridabad district. And in the whole of Haryana, after 9 months, after 8 months, after a year, they get Rs. 3500. You tell me, if the government gives Rs. 3500, if they don't give it every month, then how much will it cost? And the lowest price of that is in the midday meal. The lowest price of the women is in Ashawarkar. In Anganwadi, because there is less unemployment in our country. That is why women are forced to do this work. Even when they have to go to the labour force, there is a lot of work to be done. At least, the labour force should meet the women. They are trying to suppress this. In Delhi, you know, ESMA has been used on Anganwadi workers. And similarly, they are being subjected to house arrest. Even when they want to go out for a dharna or a procession, they are not allowed to come outside. That we have seen in other Pradesh, in Telangana, in Majapraadesh, in many other states. Not only they, but even their family members are taken to the police station. So, they are trying to suppress them. Even our bus was stopped by the Munda station. They say that they will not let us go. So, we said that we will go. We want to sit. If you don't let us go, we will sit here. We had a big bus on the road. The bus was Baban Seaton. So, we said that we will go by foot. We will go by bus. We will take our bus as soon as we arrive. But we will go. In the coming days, all three of our federations have gathered in the CIG to celebrate the 28th anniversary of Harital. We are already looking forward to that. The preparations are going on. That is why today's protest is symbolizing. So, that Harital will be the biggest Harital of the day. And all the 100% who will enter the ski marathas, will enter the Harital. Make sure to ski marathas. And celebrate the 28th anniversary of Harital. And in the coming days, in the coming days, we will decide the time of the protest in Delhi. We are the people of the fight. We will take our rights and rights. We will fight until we get our rights.
