Telangana reports that 3,895 Anganwadi workers have been disengaged over the past two years, raising concerns about staffing in the state's early childhood care system.
The state of Telangana has recorded the disengagement of 3,895 Anganwadi workers over the last two years, according to data cited by Telangana Today. Anganwadi centres, which provide essential nutrition, health, and pre‑school services to children and mothers, rely heavily on this workforce.
The turnover figure, approaching four thousand workers, highlights a significant shift in the human resources supporting the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme in the state. While the report does not detail the reasons behind the disengagements, the scale suggests potential challenges in retaining staff at the grassroots level.
State officials have previously emphasized the need for stable staffing to ensure uninterrupted delivery of meals, immunisation, and early education. The latest numbers may prompt a review of recruitment, training, and incentive mechanisms to curb further attrition and safeguard the quality of services offered to vulnerable families.
