We are all aware of the Chhattisgarh Anganwadi Worker Saree Scheme. In this scheme, the government purchase the Sarees and then distributed to all the workers and assistants. But now there are major changes made by the state government of Chhattisgarh. Under the new change of the scheme, now the concerned Department, i.e., the Women and Child Development Department of the state are not going to purchase the sarees, but now they are going to provide the Fund by transferring the same into their bank Accounts. If any Anganwadi Worker or assistant wants to know more about this scheme, then you may need to read my latest blog.
Chhattisgarh Anganwadi Worker Saree Scheme
As we all know, all the Anganwadi worker and their assistants receive the ready-made uniform every year from the side of the Government. Because a uniform has a specific colour and design. But there are so many complaints and suggestions that have been received by the department about the fabric quality, etc.
To maintain transparency in this scheme, the government has now made changes in this scheme. Now they have abolished the Saree Purchasing system and are going to provide the Fund to purchase the Saree of their Own Choice. The concerned Department is going to transfer the amount into the account of the Anganwadi Worker and Assistant. Now, after getting the same amount in their bank accounts, beneficiaries can buy the Saree as per their own choice.
The announcement about this new change was made by the Women and Child Development Department Minister, Laxmi Rajwade.

Why Major Changes Were Made in the Anganwadi Worker Saree Scheme in Chhattisgarh?
The changes have been made after receiving complaints, suggestions, and reviewing the Saree Purchase system. Because the beneficiaries have their own choice, some of them wear cotton, some of them wear silk, etc. That’s why the department decided to provide the fund to all the beneficiaries instead of purchasing the Saree. Now every employee will get the fund for their Saree in their account with the help of simple and transparent methods.
Anganwadi Worker Saree Scheme Fund Benefits
Now, after making the changes, the Women and Child Development Department of the state will fix the amount for purchasing the Saree, i.e., uniform, which is about Rs. 500. As we all know, in this scheme, the government provide two uniforms to all the Anganwadi Workers and their Assistant every year. So now the government has decided to pay Rs.500 for one uniform. It means for two years you will get Rs.1,000 every year.
So now, no Anganwadi worker or Assistant will get any Saree, because they all get a uniform amount directly in their bank account.
Mode of Fund Transfers
The minister who announced these major changes, i.e. Laxmi Rajwade, stated that they only want to provide the same fund directly to the beneficiaries without involving any other persons. So the fund for each uniform is direct transfer in the bank accounts of the Anganwadi Worker and Assistant through the DBT Mode of Transfer. Here, DBT Stands for the Direct Benefit Transfer System. By using the same payment method, the government only wants to maintain transparency in the scheme.
Saree Colour and Design
There are no any kind of changes have been made to the pattern of the saree design and colour. The pattern and design of the uniform Saree are available on the website.
