Rajasthan: Time to raise workers' wages?

Posted:

In Rajasthan, workers and people's groups have launched a Mazdoor Haq Yatra to demand an increase in minimum wages for workers under MNREGA which is the UPA's flagship program to combat poverty and rural unemployment. Prices of basic food items have risen sharply but shockingly the minimum wage for MNREGA workers has remained static since the scheme began almost 5 years ago. Activists say denying a better wage to rural labour is a grave injustice when salaries of government officials have more than doubled. Salaries of government officials, MLAs and MPs have seen a huge hike recently. But the minimum wage for workers under MNREGA has remained fixed at Rs 100 a day for nearly 5 years. A MNREGA labour complained, "The fact that salaries of all government officials have been raised shows that the government is aware of how much prices have risen. But despite giving all benefits to government employees, they don't listen to needs of labourers like us." Another labourer added, "The government says we should feed lots of nutritious things to make our children healthy. But instead of hundred rupees we often get only 20 rupees as wages. How can we then feed our children adequately?"
