Many senior Graduate/Matriculation Anganwadi Workers and Helpers having experience of more than twenty to thirty years alleged that department is violating norms framed by the Union Government which has been further framed in SRO-16 of 2004, dated 28/01/2004 wherein Social Welfare Department was supposed to fill 50% posts of Supervisors through J&K Service Selection Recruitment Board, 25% selections through Departmental Selection Committee from among Graduate level Anganwadi Workers having experience of more than 5 years while 25% selections through Departmental Selection Committee from amongst Matriculate Anganwadi Workers having experience of more 10 years. They said, "Many of them have crossed age of 50 to 55 years and are still waiting for their promotion while as there were many blue eyed workers having least experience, have been promoted.
