What impact does the rising cost of living have on MGNREGA wages as noted by a parliamentary panel
MGNREGA wages are not in consonance with the rising cost of living, as stated by a parliamentary panel.
- MGNREGA wages are not being reviewed and increased regularly to keep up with the rising cost of living.
- This results in the wages provided under MGNREGA not being sufficient for the beneficiaries to meet their basic needs.
- The disparity between MGNREGA wages and the cost of living leads to financial insecurity and increased economic vulnerability for the rural workforce.
- The parliamentary panel emphasized the need for a systematic mechanism to adjust MGNREGA wages based on inflation and other relevant factors.
- Failure to address this issue can undermine the effectiveness and impact of the MGNREGA program in providing livelihood support to marginalized communities.
