AGARTALA, Nov 15 (TIWN): With a shocking note, it has been known that many ASHA workers don't know how to how to write own name, i.e. totally illiterate.
Asha Facilitators recently have exposed the shocking data. They said, "In 2007 under NRHM we were appointed as ASHA workers. But in 2011 to guide the ASHA workers, ASHA facilitators were appointed which was picked up from ASHA workers who were Madhyamik Passed or more educated".
Asha Facilitators were actually demanding their rights and through their conversation it was exposed.
"As per rules we would guide 15 ASHA workers in villages and in town areas 25 ASHA workers. But under AMC there are only 8 ASHA facilitators for 454 ASHAs. Recently NRHM has asked to appoint atleast 15 facilitators to guide 454 AMC's ASHAs. Per month we visit 20 fields and many more workers we have to do which are out of list. There are some ASHAs who are uneducated fully. So, we have to help them always. For their salary applications also, we are helping them even with giving their signatures as they can not write. But, when the Ministers are going to various programmes they are failed to identify the difference among green saree ASHAs and Brown / Yellow saree ASHAs. When they address, they only mention ASHA workers but never mention about ASSHA facilitator or helper. We have huge resentment with that", said the ASHA facilitators.
