Bhubaneswar, Feb 29: The State cabinet today approved the proposal of regularisation of 504 contractual supervisors of the Department of Women and Child Development. These contractual supervisors are working under the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) program in the state.
After considering the demand received through their association and their representation before the Inter-Ministerial Committee, the cabinet has considered their case for regularization with an additional burden of Rs.18.51 crore per annum approximately.
Regularisation of their services will ensure uninterrupted delivery of essential services and support to vulnerable children and women in the community covered under the ICDS program in the state.
Apart from this, such regularisation will inspire educated women from rural and tribal areas to work as supervisors with commitment and dedication, which will enhance the overall development of the service delivery system. It will also improve the quality of services they provide and encourage them to perform the best, said an official.
