Karnataka: Over 15,000 ASHA workers to get monthly incentive of Rs 1,000
Bengaluru: In a significant move to support healthcare at the grassroots level, the Karnataka government has announced a Rs 1,000 monthly incentive for over 15,000 Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) across the state.
The decision follows a government order releasing funds to increase the honorarium paid to ASHA workers operating in health sub-centres and urban areas not yet upgraded to Ayushman Arogya Mandirs.
To implement this initiative, the state has sanctioned an additional grant of Rs 1,800.48 lakh.
Under the scheme, primary health officers and health inspectors will receive an incentive of Rs 1,500 per month while ASHA workers will get Rs 1,000 per month as incentives.
Karnataka currently has around 41,000 active ASHA workers, out of a total of 42,524 sanctioned posts. Each ASHA worker is responsible for healthcare outreach to approximately 1,000 people in rural areas and 2,500 in urban areas.
