MGNREGA funds remain stuck at ₹86,000 crore, despite mounting deficits & wage delays. Govt claims it’s demand-driven, yet no additional funds were allocated! Artificial suppression of demand continues. #Budget2025 #MGNREGA
No hike in #MGNREGA allocation despite deficits & pending dues. Due to the lower allocation in FY24-25, persondays generated plummeted to 239cr from 312cr in FY23-24. Avg. work days/ household also dropped from 52.08 to 44.62. Truly a “gift” on NREGA Diwas. #BudgetSession2025

Raising workdays without higher wages, better funding & timely payments won’t help rural workers. -Only 7% of HHs get the full 100 days of work. -Wages remain stagnant & delayed—undermining worker participation. -Job card deletions & tech failures (ABPS, NMMS) push workers out.
In the current circumstances, increasing #MGNREGS guaranteed workdays from 100 to 150 is not feasible without addressing issues like increasing budget, personnel on the ground, and autonomy for Panchayats to identify works, says @samalochana #Budget2025

Such an imp. paper as the Union Govt pushes mandatory ABPS across departments & states. Forcing one model in a diverse country is unjust. With evidence showing ABPS is no better than account-based payments, citizens must choose their system—cash delivery should stay an option
In this paper published in the latest edition of Indian Journal of Labour Economics, we show how NREGA has been treated as a tech lab. On claims that Aadhaar leads to reduction in wage payment delays @MoRD_GoI has made Aadhaar mandatory. We (1) debunk this claim & show

AP’s social security pensions: ₹4,000/month is commendable, but why are beneficiaries being cut drastically? Our @thenewsminute op-ed highlights the alarming deletions, systemic gaps, and the need for fairness in implementation. @rajendran_naray @SameetPanda @RahulSwaero3

Despite NREGA funds being halted to West Bengal for 3 years, discussions on the issue remain at a rhetorical level. My RTI findings, featured in @the_hindu story filed by @SobhanaNair, shed light on key flaws and Centre-State impasse. @rajendran_naray @LibtechIndia @MoRD_GoI

AP govt's hypocrisy on social security pensions is glaring. Over 1.57 lakh pensioners removed in 6 months without explanation. Now, a field verification schedule? Why wasn’t it done before? Meanwhile, media hypes "new pensions" while existing ones are axed. #APPensions

Right to work deleted: We sampled NREGA worker deletions from 1914 villages from 21 states. Barring Bengal, official reason for deleting 71% of the workers is 'unwilling to work' - 10% of them either worked/demanded work that year. In today's Hindu with @samalochana @LibtechIndia

Over 6 months, the Kootami govt in Andhra removed 1.5 lakh pensioners from the social security list. While raising pensions from 3k to 4k is praiseworthy, the govt must explain these exclusions and make the criteria transparent. #Accountability #SocialJustice @ncbn @PawanKalyan
