Parliamentary standing committee headed by DMK MP Kanimozhi raised concerns benefits flagship scheme not reaching intended target marginalised workers; latest news on news18.com; Vatsala Shrangi
Workers contracted under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) in Telangana plan to stage state-wide protests against the new Aadhaar-based wage payment and app-based attendance systems.
The impact of experimental measures like making digital attendance mandatory through the NMMS App mandatory and paying wages only to Aadhaar-linked bank accounts will fall on rural migrants who are desperately striving for survival.
The new National Mobile Monitoring Software (NMMS) App, which has become mandatory for "attendance" for the workers since January 1, has become yet another barrier for workers.
The workers spoke about the persistent delays in wage payments, how they did not get work when they demanded it, and how no compensation was provided when they were injured or even killed at the workplace.
