Chandigarh, August 19

The state government has released Rs 68.95 crore honorarium for anganwadi workers and helpers.

This initiative underscores the government’s commitment to the welfare of those who play a pivotal role in child development and community health.

Dr Baljit Kaur, Minister of Social Security, Women and Child Development, announced the release of the grant and said the welfare of anganwadi workers and helpers remained a top priority for the government. “While we are dedicated to address the needs of various segments of the society, the welfare of anganwadi workers and helpers is close to our hearts. The CM has already announced the recruitment of 3,000 anganwadi workers, which will open new employment avenues,” said the minister. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
