Bhubaneswar: The Odisha State Cabinet led by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has approved the proposal of regularization of 504 Contractual Supervisors of the Department of Women and Child Development.
Regularization of their services will ensure the uninterrupted delivery of essential services and support to vulnerable children and women in the community covered under the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) programs in the State.
After considering their demand received through their Associations and their representation before the Inter-Ministerial Committee, Govt. has considered their case for regularization with an additional burden of Rs.18.51 crore per annum (approx).
Such regularization will inspire the educated women from rural and tribal areas to work as Supervisors with commitment and dedication, which will help to enhance overall development of service delivery system. It will also improve the quality of services they provide, encouraging them to perform at their best, according to an official release.
