The Uttar Pradesh government on Friday increased the salary given to ASHA workers from Rs.750 to Rs.1500. Asha and Asha Sangini get Rs.1500 per month from the Central Government and Rs.750 per month from the State Government. After the increment in salary, now Asha Worker and Asha Sangini will be able to get Rs.3000 per month.
The Uttar Pradesh government has also announced a separate bonus of Rs.500 to the ASHA worker who did good work during the Corona period from 01 April 2020 to 31 March 2022.
The ASHA worker was also protesting in various states for the last few months regarding the increase in her salary.
