On May 22, the #WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus honored more than 1 million female volunteers in India, the #ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist) workers, for their crucial role in community health of rural #India during the #COVID19 pandemic.
India's Prime Minister #NarendraModi congratulated them too. "Congratulations to all ASHA workers. They are at the forefront of ensuring a healthy India. Their dedication and determination is admirable," tweeted the Prime Minister.
The irony in the congratulatory messages could not be missed. The global award comes at a time when over a million #ASHAWorkers have been demanding their rights and protesting against the working conditions. They are struggling to make their ends meet; they do not have job security; their loan applications are not entertained; there's no minimum wage bar. All of this combined with often working in hostile environments.
Watch the video to listen to what the ASHA workers feel about the #WHOAward they have been honoured with.

The Narcotics Control Bureau has dropped #AryanKhan and five others from the chargesheet filed on Friday in the cruise raid case. The #NCB has cited &lsquo;lack of sufficient evidence&rsquo; and &rsquo;shortcomings in the initial investigation&rsquo; as reasons behind dropping the names of Aryan Khan and five others.
Now, is there any evidence at all against Aryan Khan that corroborates his connection with the international drugs mafia, as was claimed by the NCB last year? Or was it really a shoddy probe by the ex-NCB officer Sameer Wankhede.
"The NCB now says the allegation against Aryan Khan cannot be prove beyond reasonable doubt. Evidence beyond reasonable doubt is a measure for trial, and not for filing of chargesheet. What type of investigation uses a whatsapp chat to indicate a global criminal conspiracy? The NCB cannot take the role of a judge," says Nikam, in one of of the many scathing remarks against NCB during the chat with Tanvi Shukla.
In our new episode of #SIMPLIFIED, Tanvi Shukla speaks to Ujjwal Nikam, special public prosecutor, Maharashtra, to help viewers understand the real story behind the controversy.
