With the objective to make women and children aware about their rights and in yet another attempt to help and lend support to kids and women especially those belonging to lower strata of society on these vital issues covering health, nutrition and sanitation, Jharkhand IAS officers’ wives association (JIASOWA) organised a seminar cum workshop on Saturday at Aryabhatta Auditorium.
“All women centric issues must be considered seriously. Both Government and NGOs must co-ordinate to provide maximum benefits to the beneficiaries. The set target can only be achieved, if all the Anganwadi workers, including other field staff properly deliver their duties catering to the need of both women and children to curb the threat of anemia and other serious issue like maternal mortality rate in State. Dietary habits must also be checked for healthy lifestyle. Apart this, with the aid and assistance of Government schemes, we also need to completely eradicate the social evil practice which include early marriage,” said Governor Droupadi Murmu while addressing the gathering of Anganwadi workers, Child Development Programme Officers (CDPOs) and other dignitaries.
