A significant victory was achieved by the ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist) workers in Karnataka by spearheading an intense movement. More than 42,000 ASHA workers of Karnataka have conducted an exemplary struggle facing biting cold and all sorts of odds and difficulties under the leadership of Karnataka Rajya Samyukta ASHA Karyakarteyara Sangha affiliated to AIUTUC. Finally, they have won this battle and state government had to bow down in before their heroic dogged struggle and announced a fixed honorarium of Rs.10,000 along with additional incentives. Due to RCH portal, an online payment mode, ASHA workers were facing many kinds of problems in regard to receipt of payment because of absence of recording proper feedback of the work done by them. As a result, only a fixed payment of Rs. 5,000 from the state government was being received by them and receipt of remaining incentive given by the central government was very uncertain. Most of the times, it was much less compared to the work done. Hence a demand was raised for a consolidated payment of Rs 15,000 per month instead of incentive payment method through RCH portal. But health department never considered these genuine demands and somehow wanted to continue with RCH portal. In February 2024, deprived ASHA workers organized day and night protest for 2 days at Freedom Park, Bangalore. Under the pressure of movement, chief minister of Karnataka assured that soon ameeting would be convened to sort out the issues. But nothing happened despite 16 meetings. Finally, the ASHA workers decided to go for an indefinite strike from 7 January 2025, at Freedom Park at Bangalore. Bending before the firm determination and struggling spirit of ASHA workers, the CM alongwith his health minister had to agree to fix a consolidated amount of Rs 10,000 per month to each and every ASHA worker besides promising additional performance-based incentives and keeping door open for discussion on other demands. Public support for this movement was worth taking note of. Retd. Supreme Court Judge and former Lokayukta, Justice Santhosh Hegde, Former Vice Chancellor of Hampi Kannada University Dr. Murigeppa, Educationist Niranjana Aradhya, writer Chandrakanta Vaddu, President of State Women commission Dr. Nagalakshmi Chaudhary came to protest and extended their full support. Somasekhar Yadgiri, State president and D. Nagalakshmi, State Secretary of ASHA union led the movement along with others. This significant victory once again proved that united organized movement under correct leadership can alone compel the power that be to yield to the just demands of the toiling people.
