AGARTALA, July 19 (TIWN): Supreme Court on April 26, 2022 ordered gratuity for lakhs of hapless Anganwadi workers. Based on this, Tripura Anganwadi workers demanded the Govt must implement Supreme court’s order and also regularize the workers.
The court also ordered that gratuity benefits should be disbursed to all eligible employees within three months with 10 percent simple interest.
The pre-schooling of children coming under the age of 3-6 is taken care of by the Anganwadis. It is academic and curriculum work. As per Section 11 of the Right to Education (RTE) Act, the State Government is running pre-school in Anganwadis. So, the Payment of Gratuity Act is applicable to Anganwadis, said Justice Abhay in his judgment.
The Anganwadi employees also demanded an extension of their retirement age up to 65 years.
