00:00We will make it according to the proper dimensions, including the kitchen, bathroom and a portion of toilet.
00:07We will make it according to the proper design.
00:12But we are making the Anganwadi centre to reduce the number of children.
00:18You said that the government is not going to do anything.
00:21Will the state government contribute to this?
00:25We can do it, but the program that is going on all over India,
00:31we have to make amendments to it.
00:33That too can be a long procedure.
00:35But we will try our best to make our children happy.
00:39The Chief Minister said that he will give fruits.
00:44Yes, you are confusing it a bit.
00:47The issue of giving fruits comes in the mid-day meal.
00:50Because there they make proper food.
00:53We are giving supplementary nutrition.
00:56We are not giving food to the children.
00:58We are giving supplements to fulfill the nutritional needs.
01:02For example, iron and protein.
01:05In the next 6 years, we will give S&P to the Anganwadi centre.
01:15You can go to our Anganwadi centre and see what we are giving.
01:20I have been to the Anganwadi centre for years.
01:23We are giving Dalia, Khichdi, Panjiri.
01:26In the time of inflation, it is not possible to give that much nutrition for Rs. 8.
01:32That is why we are raising the demand.
01:35And I want to say that we will be successful.
01:43If we go for Rs. 4 more, we will be sufficient.
01:51How did you do that?
01:53Was there a cut-off in this?
01:56There were many questions in this as well.
01:59It was said that the panjiri was given for a short time.
02:02And it was not seen whether it was distributed to the proper field or not.
02:08Because some reached the Anganwadi centre and some did not.
02:12But after that, when we did MOU with Markfed,
02:15we properly consulted with the university and dietitians
02:21about the amount of protein to be given to the child,
02:24the amount of carbs to be given to the child,
02:26the amount of iron to be given to the child.
02:28After calculating all that, we made new supplements.
02:31We did not say whether it was added or not.
02:35We wanted to see how many calories are there in it.
02:38So, we are giving it according to the norms.
02:42If you are increasing the number of centres,
02:44will the number of staff also increase?
02:47Yes, I have already said that before this,
02:50our government gave 5,000 Anganwadi workers.
02:53And we are going to give 3,000 more.
02:57I think there is a need for a lot of supplements.
02:59Because it has been seen for many years that
03:01there is a lot of controversy about the government.
03:05Do you have any opinion on this?
03:08Look, if you are talking about nutrition,
03:12we have already told Markfed that it is a government cooperative.
03:17It is not a private agency.
03:19So, we are buying from Punjab itself.
03:23It is not that we are giving it from outside.
03:25So, with full transparency,
03:27wherever we complain,
03:29we complain because you are sitting here to refine us.
03:32If you tell us what is wrong here,
03:34we will correct it.
03:35So, you keep telling us and we will do it.
