AJKPC hails Enhancement of wages Under MGNREGA
Jammu, 31/March/2016: All Jammu
and Kashmir Panchayat Conference has
hailed the decision of the Jammu and Kashmir government which has been taken after
the revised gazette notification of the ministry of rural development and
Panchayati Raj, government of India, regarding revision of wage rate for
unskilled manual workers under MGNREGA, Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment
Guarantee Act.
As per the revised rate it has
been decided that from 01/April/2016, in the state of Jammu and Kashmir the
wages for the unskilled workers under MGNREGA be appreciated as Rs. 173/ Per
Day.
Anil Sharma, President All Jammu
and Kashmir Panchayat Conference informed that now after the revised wage rate
every unskilled MGREGA worker in Jammu and
Kashmir shall get an additional Rs. 900 for 100 days job earlier it was
16,400 (for 100 days) and now from the coming financial year an unskilled MGREGA
worker shall receive minimum Rs. 173 per day. i.e (Rs 17300 for 100 days).
Sharma, while appreciating the decision of the
Union government said ‘ though the appreciation of per day wage is low but
AJKPC is hopeful that till next financial year it would be further enhanced and
minimum 150 days guaranteed job is provided to the villagers in every financial year”. It
is pertinent to mention here that All Jammu and Kashmir Panchayat Conference
has many a times raised all the genuine demands of the MGNREGA workers of the
state at all appropriate forums in the state and with the union government as
well and it was also only after the untiring struggle and continuing pursuance
of the All Jammur and Kashmir Panchayat Conference that the previous government
was compelled to give monthly honorarium to 33,000 plus elected Panches and
Sarpanches.
