Caught On Cam: Anganwadi Workers Take Away Eggs Served To Children, Suspended

The two workers, who were suspended, recorded videos and clicked pictures of eggs being served to the Anganwadi children.

Karnataka News: Two Anganwadi workers faced suspension in Karnataka's Koppal district for allegedly taking back eggs from children’s plates after serving them during a midday meal. The two workers took back the eggs after filming the act. The matter came to light after several videos of the incident surfaced on social media platforms.

Two workers recorded videos and clicked pictures of eggs being served to the Anganwadi children, news agency PTI reported, citing officials. After making the video, they immediately took back the eggs from the plates of the children during the meal.

It is pertinent to mention that eggs are a mandatory part of the midday meal that is provided in government schools and Anganwadis. The Women and Child Development Department issued an order on August 9 stating that both workers have been suspended until further orders for dereliction of duties.

Reacting to the incident, Karnataka Women and Child Development Minister Laxmi Hebbalkar said that as soon as the matter came to her notice, immediate action was taken and instructions were given to department officials to suspend the two workers, as reported by PTI.

She further said that instructions have been given to suspend the Child Development Project Officer of Koppal in connection with the incident and issue notice to the Deputy Director of the Koppal district. The Minister also sought a detailed report in connection with the case.

"Serving nutritious food and providing equality education is the objective of Anganwadi. No injustice would be done to the underprivileged children," she said, as quoted by PTI. The Minister also warned that anyone found guilty of such misconduct would be compulsorily retired from their position.
