Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday distributed 69,794 smartphones to Anganwadi workers, along with key equipment including 1,33,282 stadiometers, 10,553 infantometers and 58,237 weighing machines.
Congratulating newly appointed workers, the Chief Minister said the move aims to strengthen service delivery and improve real-time data collection. “For the past four years, I have been persistently pursuing this department to ensure that every Anganwadi worker possesses a smartphone. We are unable to receive real-time data regarding the hard work they put in; consequently, our rankings suffer due to the failure to upload data in a timely manner. Therefore, it is essential to provide them with smartphones and ensure they become proficient in their usage.”
Emphasising the expanding role of Anganwadi workers, Yogi said the government is working to equip them with modern tools and necessary facilities to enhance efficiency and outreach. “Given the significant expansion of your role in the future, efforts are being advanced to provide you with every necessary facility,” said CM Yogi.
