Either govt should recruit more teachers/leave the scheme or hike their salary
My aunty working as anganavadi teacher. personally i know how difficult it is
People may think in rural area, anganavady worker are less educated and anyone can work. but they are doing great job. should leave the scheme which gives extra work
Govt should consider them as human beings. They are working like anything and they get paid very less
They deserve more salary.
