Health workers go to Dalit areas in 3 months but every month to others!

Padmalochan Varma from Raj Khariar in Nuapada district in Odisha is talking to an Anganwadi worker Anju Tandi in a dalit basti. Anju tells her that though health workers visit other anganwadi centers every month but two anganwadi centers in their area are visited one in 3 months and for that reason children, pregnant women are suffering. Mr Varma asks a question is this happening because this is a area for Dalit people? For more Mr Varma can be reached at 09439580050
