Satyagraha
Section 1
The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) is a path-
breaking legislation offering hope to millions of poor people in India. It has already led to
many positive achievements: large-scale employment generation (more than 50 million
women and men worked on MGNREGA in 2009-10), empowerment of rural women,
slowdown of rural-urban migration, creation of many productive assets, increase in acutely
depressed wages earned by the poor among others. However, a series of emergency measures
are required if the gains made through MGNREGA are to be preserved and consolidated.
Some of the immediate areas of serious concern are summarized below.
The current policy on wages of the government of India violates the fundamental rights of
workers as well as Supreme Court and High Court decisions, by contravening the Minimum
Wages Act. Shockingly, the union government takes the view that it is not bound to pay
minimum wages to MGNREGA workers, thereby effectively destroying the sanctity of one
of India’s most important legislations for the unorganized poor. [See Chapter 2, Section 3]
The effective “freeze” of NREGA wages at Rs 100/day also directly violates the Minimum
Wages Act, since all workers are entitled to the statutory minimum wage applicable in their
respective states. This has already been challenged and set aside in the Andhra Pradesh High
Court and is likely to be struck down, sooner or later, by the Supreme Court. Wage policy for
MGNREGA needs to be urgently reconciled with the Minimum Wages Act.
The Finance Minister in his budget speech of July 2009 promised that a real wage of Rs. 100
would be assured to all MGNREGA workers in the country. In fact the notification now in
operation (dated 1 January 2009) has in effect capped wages at Rs 100/day in nominal terms
across the country. The real value of wages is steadily declining every month, as prices
increase without any corresponding increase in money wages. This is a violation of the UPA-
2 government’s promise to ensure a “real wage” of Rs 100/day for MGNREGA workers.
Meanwhile, MPs and bureaucrats are insisting – successfully – on massive salary increases.
Reports of long delays in wage payments have been pouring from all over the country in the
last two years. This is threatening to undermine the entire programme, as delays in payments
discourage workers from joining MGNREGA worksites. Yet, very little has been done to
address this problem. Some remedial measures have recently been suggested by the Central
Employment Guarantee Council’s “Working Group on Wages”. There have been examples in
different states through which compensation and interest has been paid. However, instead of
universalizing these mechanisms for payment of compensation for delays in payment of
wages and the automatic payment of interest, the issues has been deliberately avoided by
saying that this is a matter for the states to decide. For workers on the edge of survival, timely
payments are crucial to their faith in the Act.
4. Lack of Accountability
The MGNREGA is the first of a series of social policy legislations in the entitlements
framework. In this paradigm the worker should have the facility to access entitlements easily,
through a series of well understood mechanisms under her/his control - like the application
for work. The accountability aspects therefore need to be legally and administratively
structured in a manner that the worker has the power to enforce rights, and have grievances
redressed, and control the public vigilance and monitoring aspects independently of the
implementing agency.
a) Undermining Accountability
The Central Employment Guarantee Council (CECG) has wide powers and responsibilities
under the Act. It was intended to act as an independent watchdog for MGNREGA at the
national level. However, the CECG has failed to fulfill its mandate under the law. It rarely
meets, does not have an Executive Committee, and did not submit any of the annual reports it
is supposed to prepare for Parliament. This is unlikely to change unless the Council is
restructured and enabled to carry out its mandate of being MGNREGA’s independent
monitoring body at the national level.
To make matters worse, even independent efforts of the poor to secure entitlements are being
discouraged. For fulfillment of entitlements under MGNREGA, it is crucial that the workers’
right to organize is protected and facilitated. Unfortunately, what is noticed is that all those
who are “managers” such as rozgar sahayaks, panchayat secretaries, sarpanches, engineers,
We take this opportunity to express our solidarity with all organizations and individuals,
especially workers’ organizations, which are fighting for the rights of MGNREGA workers
and against the undermining of MGNREGA by vested interests. For our part, we shall
endeavour to strengthen ongoing programs of action to secure the entitlements of the
MGNREGA workers such as Raichur Dharna (Karnataka), Mazdoor Haq Yatra and
Satyagraha (Rajasthan), NREGA Sahayata Kendras (Jharkhand), Labour Federations in
Andhra Pradesh, NFIW organizational efforts on MGNREGA etc. See the next chapter for
details about the Mazdoor Haq Yatra and Satyagraha.
Section 1
The Suchna Evum Rozgar ka Adhikar Abhiyan (S. R. Abhiyan) began a Mazdoor Haq
Satyagraha from the 2nd of October, 2010 near the Statue Circle in Jaipur.
The S. R. Abhiyan organized a Mazdoor Haq Yatra, in which there were 5 groups – one each
in Ajmer, Jodhpur, Kota, Rajsamand and Udaipur. The yatras started on the 15th of
September, 2010 and will be converging near the Statue Circle in Jaipur on October 2nd. The
response to these yatras has been overwhelming. Workers and farmers across the state have
endorsed the critical need to establish dignity and justice for themselves. These discussions
have built up a discourse enriched by people’s analysis of crucial issues under assault and
debate, such as the control and right to access resources of the state and the consequent
question of equitable sharing. This has strengthened the Abhiyan’s resolve to establish non-
negotiable entitlements for basic life and livelihood. The people who have attended
the yatra meetings in street corners of small towns and villages have supported these yatras
with contributions of food, shelter, fuel and money, so that each yatra has been self-
sufficient.
The first issue will, therefore, be the right for the marginalised and the unheard to have and
access platforms of dissent and non-violent protest. By merely prefixing MG to the NREGA
the government has not “improved” upon legal entitlements of workers since the real
entitlements for labour are being steadily undermined.
The central government has de-linked minimum wages from wages under the MGNREGA.
In addition the “wage rate” has been frozen for almost two years. Even the so called “wage
rate” is systematically violated with people being paid as little as one rupee a day, and an
average payment of Rs. 75 per day being paid in Rajasthan making even the Rs. 100 a day a
The other broad concern is the manifest corruption which derails and denies access to
entitlements and benefits. In this broad area are the rights that lie with the newly acquired
RTI regime; and the ensuing entitlements within the MGNREGA for transparency and
accountability. This is a general empowerment under RTI to citizens to access and use
information to monitor governance. Of specific concern is the exercise of social audit, a
mandate entitled in the MGNREGA. Innumerable problems have been created both at the
level of amendments to the schedule of the Act in the Ministry of Rural Development,
Government of India, and in the organised reaction of those who are being monitored for
mismanagement and fraud at the village and panchayat levels. This is a reflection too of the
feudal and repressive nature not only of the social structure, but of governance itself.
The satyagraha will also be a platform which will raise issues of dignity and basic
entitlements for the primary producers in the country – the mazdoors, who are also very
often kisans; the sanctity of democratic space, peaceful protest and the accountability of
democratic structures to the people of the country.
This Satyagraha will continue indefinitely until at least two of the above demands are
addressed: a direct and clear commitment from the government to implement social audits
and an increase in minimum wages for workers under MGNREGA. On different days of the
indefinite Satyagraha we have planned activities of different duration. On the first day, 99
workers who got paid Re.1/day for 11 days work in Tonk district intend to come and donate
their earnings to the CM’s Relief Fund towards the payment of government employees’ daily
allowance (D.A.). One the first day we will also announce and begin to setup:
• a Chote Kisan Jan Aayog to take up issues of farmers, including land, subsidies,
seeds, fertilizers, insurance, credit and minimum support prices [M.S.P.].
• a People’s Commission on the Implementation of the RTI Act and a charter for
transparent governance through proper implementation of Section 4 of the Act, which
is about proactive disclosure.
• last but not least, sessions on the theme of ‘Save Democracy’. There have been
systematic attempts to muzzle peaceful protest. This is done by cultivating a mind set
in those who administer to convert all protest into a law and order issue, thereby
defusing and sometimes destroying the rule of law. Refusing us permission to
peacefully protest is just an example. Distinction between peaceful demonstrations
and violent protest must be made, and space must be provided for the former if
democracy is to function effectively.
The mandate and message we carry with us from the people we met during the yatras is
unambiguous: Take our message to Jaipur and we will come there to join the Satyagraha. Not
only have daily wage labourers promised to come, they have even offered to support us in
cash and through other means.
We are making an appeal to all supporters of these issues to give time, spread the word,
join the campaign and to donate at least one day’s wages (more is of course welcome) to
support what may turn out to be a long and decisive struggle for dignity and
justice. Please let us know as soon as possible if and when you would like to come so that we
can plan the logistics. Contact details can be found below. Media persons are advised to
contact the control room. This is not to restrict the numbers who might want to come, but to
facilitate planning. We would be strengthened by your support and participation. We look
forward to seeing you at the Satyagraha.

Calendar of events
The Mazdoor Haq Satyagraha is an on-going protest by the workers to demand the payment
of inflation-indexed minimum wage, which was arbitrarily frozen through a Government of
India notification in January 2009. The “dharna” also functions as a platform for democratic
governance. Every day, issues of relevance to the workers are taken up for discussion
facilitated by a panel of eminent persons in that domain. The Satyagraha is also demanding
an effective implementation of social audits under the MGNREGA. The highlights of the
dharna are as under:
15th September 2010 - 1st October 2010: The S. R. Abhiyan organized Mazdoor Haq Yatras
in 5 divisions of Rajasthan (Ajmer, Jodhpur, Kota, Rajsamand and Udaipur). During the
yatras the S. R. Abhiyan found that there was a strong response by people to the injustice
being delivered by the government on the issue of wages under the MGNREGA.
27th September 2010: A press conference was organised in Delhi in which, among others, two
CEGC members voiced their concerns about persistent challenges in the effective
implementation of social audits and the crisis of wages in MGNREGA across the country.
2nd October 2010: The S. R. Abhiyan started the Mazdoor Haq Satyagraha which is an
indefinite protest making two major demands: first, minimum wage linked to inflation must
be paid under MGNREGA and clear commitment from the government to implement social
audits. On this day the S. R. Abhiyan announced the following activities:
• a Chote Kisan Jan Aayog to take up issues of farmers, including land, subsidies,
seeds, fertilizers, insurance, credit and minimum support prices [M.S.P.].
• ‘Public Hearings on MGNREGA’ to look into the status of implementations of the ten
entitlements under MGNREGA.
4th October 2010: The Government of Rajasthan announced an increase in minimum wages
but does not link it to MGNREGA. Wage rate under MGNREGA thus lower than the state
minimum wage.
7th October 2010: The S. R. Abhiyan demanded an ‘Accountability Commission’ from the
State Government following a spot survey of 48 offices in Jaipur which revealed that a
majority of the senior and middle rung officials failed to come to office on time.
8th October 2010: Some members of the S. R. Abhiyan visited the chowkti (mazdoor mandi)
to talk about the Satyagraha and received overwhelming support for the issues. The labourers
there also made a contribution of Rs. 200 for the dharna.
9th October 2010: The Government of India announced that it has set up a committee to be
headed by Pranob Sen to look into the minimum wage issue under MGNREGA.
10th October 2010: A public hearing was held on people with disability in MGNREGA at the
Satyagraha. Here the Minister for Rural Development, Government of India was reminded of
his promise made in 2009 to ensure work for people with disabilities under the MGNREGA.
12th October 2010: The Right to Information Act completed 5 years on this day. The S. R.
Abhiyan organised a Suchna Mela at the Satyagraha. The Khazana Rath Yatra lampooning
an unaccountable and unresponsive state made its maiden trip. The S. R. Abhiyan also
submitted a request to the Chief Minister of Rajasthan to lodge FIRs against the Assistant
Engineer in Tonk district for committing fraud by submitting fake measurement books for
work worth 4.2 lakh rupees in the matter of the 99 labourers who were paid 1 Re per day for
eleven days of work.
13th October 2010: The S. R. Abhiyan members met the Chief Secretary and Principal
Secretary Finance and Policy Planning and were informed that the Government of Rajasthan
will write to Government of India to increase minimum wages under the MGNREGA (letter
dated October 18, 2010 attached)
14th October 2010: Participants at the Satyagraha prepared a brief status report on delayed
wage payments from 8 districts in the MGNREGA. The S. R. Abhiyan members met with the
Chief Minister and submitted a letter demanding compensation payments as provided under
the Act.
20th October 2010: A public hearing on single women households in MGNREGA was held at
the Satyagraha where the Ekal Shakti Sangathan expressed its solidarity with the Mazdoor
Haq Satyagraha. Women who came shared that only single women with an annual income of
30th October 2010: A review of the status of the 10 entitlements in the MGNREGA was held
at the Satyagraha. Following this all the people who were at the Satyagraha took part in a
rally which proceeded from Udyog Maidan (near Statute Circle) to the Collectorate at Jaipur.
A delegation met with the Chief Minister of Rajasthan who assured the Satyagrahis that he
would send a letter to the Prime Minister of India asking for minimum wages to be paid
under the MGNREGA.
5th November 2010: While government employees got a Diwali bonus of approximately Rs.
230 crore, workers in the MGNREGA were still fighting to get a bare minimum wage. To
protest the misplaced priorities of the government, the Satyagrahis observed a Kali Diwali
(Black Diwali).
10th November 2010: A public hearing on was held on forest land rights. Based on the
testimonies made at the Satyagraha on dalit, land right and forest rights issues a delegation
met with the Principal Secretary issued orders that the anomalies should be inquired into.
12th November 2010: A national public hearing on the MGNREGA was held in New Delhi.
A letter from the Chairperson of the NAC to the Prime Minister of India saying that
minimum wages need to be paid to all MGNREGA workers.
14th November 2010: P. Sainath came to the Mazdoor Haq Satyagraha and spoke to the
satyagrahis.
16th November 2010: A talk on the UID was held. A delegation from the Mazdoor Haq
Satyagraha met with a team of senior bureaucrats from the Rajasthan government headed by
the Chief Secretary. The government agreed to the following demands of the satyagrahis:
• After the Government of India decides in principle to link the wage rate in the
MGNREGA to an index, the minimum wage applicable in the State of Rajasthan will
also accordingly be linked to the Consumer Price Index.
• The Collector of Tonk District will conduct an investigation on the case of payment of
Re. 1 in the Gudilya village of Tonk district by 30th November.
• Detailed orders have been issued to implement the piece-rate system properly in
NREGA on 15th November 2010 and appropriate training for this will be provided. If
required this system will be further strengthened.
17th November 2010: Based on the fact the Government of Rajasthan agreed to certain
demands on the previous day the dharna is lifted. This is also the day on which the first
assembly/public-hearing of the People’s Pay Commission takes place.
Part 1: Letter written by the workers from Gudliya village, Tonk district to the Chief Minister
of Rajasthan about being paid Re. 1 per day in the MGNREGA
Part 2: The muster-roll which records the work for which workers in Gudilya village, Tonk
district got paid Re. 1 per day in the MGNREGA
MoRD’s Response:
The ministry should not just fund the setting up of a directorate of social audit, but ensure that
the directorate is independent and able to carry out its task in the manner that Andhra Pradesh
has done. The ministry needs to seriously consider why no other state has managed to capture
discrepancies through social audits even though all state governments are reporting
successful completion of social audit processes.
Working Group Recommendation: the mandatory assembly of the Gram Sabha held every
six months for this purpose may be called the ‘Social Audit Forum’
MoRD’s Response:
This may be called the Social Audit Gram Sabha instead of Social Audit Forum since Act
mentions gram, sabha not social audit forum
There is a fundamental issue that is to be considered. The working group was not questioning
the need for the gram sabha to carry out the social audit. However, as the ministry has
pointed out the current interpretation of section 13 (1)(B) as amended makes the gram sabha
a completely exclusive restrictive body. No accountability mechanism for any citizen in India
can be restricted on the basis of ‘autonomy’. The social audit gram sabha must therefore have
special arrangements to ensure that the people of the gram sabha are facilitated and supported
in making fully informed decisions.
III. Issue: SA not open and inclusive. Restricting the outsiders to Social Audit Gram Sabha
Working Group Recommendation: Revised formulation of Schedule 1-13 (b), Social Audit
Forum shall be an open and inclusive forum to encourage broad based public participation.
Any individual or association of individuals shall be allowed to participate, testify and place
their observations on record. However, they will have no voting rights
MoRD’s Response:
1. Section 17 of the Act provides “The Gram Sabha shall monitor the execution of works
within the Gram Panchayat. 2) The Gram Sabha shall conduct regular social audits of
all the projects under the Scheme taken up within the Gram Panchayat. 3) The Gram
Panchayat shall make available all relevant documents including the muster rolls,
bills, vouchers, measurement books, copies of sanction orders and other connected
books of account and papers o the Gram Sabha for the purpose of conducting the
social audit.”
2. Provision 13(b) (ix) of Schedule I provides “the Social Audit shall be open to public
participation. Any outside individual person apart from the Gram Sabha shall be
allowed to attend the Social Audit as observers without intervening the proceedings of
the Social Audit.” According to this provision, participation in the social audit being
conducted by the Gram Sabha for any person, who is not a member of that Gram
Sabha except as a spectator is prohibited by these provisions.
5. Earlier the practice had been that in the State of Rajasthan Social Audit was being
conducted with the aid of MKSS in different Panchayats. The Hon’ble Jaipur High
Court have decided on the basis of the Provision 13(b) (xi) that active participation of
any outside agency in the process of Social Audit would be against the provisions of
the Act and its Rules so much so that even the participation of Minister (RD) or the
Secretary (RD) in the Social Audit process would be against the afore provisions.
6. The Government of Andhra Pradesh have come out with the National Rural
Employment Guarantee Scheme-AP Social Audit Rules, 2008 under the powers
conferred by Section 32 (1) of the Act read with Section 23 (3). v. It has, therefore,
become necessary that the Social Audit must develop into effective instrument.
Therefore, it is proposed to suitably amend 13(b) of Schedule I. It is further proposed
to circulate the draft model Social Audit Rules to the States which they can notify
under Section 32 (2) read with Section 23(3) with / without modification. Model
rules may make the suggestion and states may decide in the manner of adoption as
Article 243 A of the Constitution defines Gram Sabha and States have power to
determine the functioning of Gram Sabha in their State Panchayati Raj Acts
1. The ‘proposed suitable amendment to 13 (1) (B) is not’ included in the ministry’s
views. This should have been placed before the CEGC now itself so as to avoid
another round of consultations and potential problems. The working group has
suggested and drafted a set of amendments to enable the Andhra model of social
audit. Shall we assume that these are the ‘proposed amendments’? This is the most
crucial aspect of the working group’s recommendations on social audit.
2. The social audit gram sabha must have special arrangements to ensure that the
people of the gram sabha are facilitated and supported in making fully informed
decisions. In fact this would be true of the planning gram sabha, also seldom held,
3. The gram sabha is also responsible under section 17 (1) for monitoring the
execution of works within the gram panchayat. This definition of the gram sabha
offered by section 13 (1) (B) mean that nobody else, including government
officials and public representatives, could monitor execution of the works within
the gram panchayat.
4. Article 243 (A) and (B) do not exclude anyone in the manner that the amendments
under 13 (B) do. The level of restriction is acknowledged in the ministry’s
response when it says that ‘even the minister RD and the secretary RD could not
participate in the social audit process’
5. In the working group the member from the CAG had the following points to
make:
a. since amounts of more than 1 crore are being spent in one panchayat, avenues
for public participation should be wider.
iii. Gram Sabha will not be chaired by anyone in charge of implementation at panchayat
IV. Issue: Implementing and auditing agency are one, if sarpanch chairs the gram sabha for
SA
Working Group Recommendation: Social Audit Forum Gram Sabha shall not be chaired
by anyone who is involved in the implementation of MGNREGA, including the Gram
Panchayat Sarpanch (President etc.) as the Gram Panchayat is the main implementing agency.
MoRD’s Response:
1. Articles 243(b) and 243(A) of the Constitution do not provide that the Gram
Sabha meeting will be chaired by the Sarpanch. Section 17 also does not make
provisions to this effect. However, the Panchayat Acts of the State contain
provisions to the effect that the Gram Sabha meetings shall be presided over by
the Sarpanch of the Panchayats.
The working group was of the opinion that to protect the independence of all audit processes
there must be no conflict of interest. Therefore, it cannot be left a particular state or gram
sabha to decide who will chair a social audit meeting. The special circumstances of a social
audit make it mandatory that the implementing agency occupies not position of authority in
the audit process. Doing so would severely compromise the entire process.
Minutes of the meeting on Policy for Revising Wage Rate in NREGA on 10th July 2009
Letter from Government of Rajasthan to the Government of India seeking minimum wages
for the MGNREGA
23 May 2010
Krishi Bhawan
The deliberations of the “Working Group on Wages”, formed under the auspices of the Central
Employment Guarantee Council, are in full swing, and the working group’s report is being drafted.
Meanwhile, the working group unanimously decided (at its first meeting, held in Delhi on 3 May
2010) to make three emergency recommendations. These are:
(A) Indexing of NREGA wages: As you know, paying a real wage of (at least) Rs 100 per day is a long-
standing promise of the UPA-2 government. It was made, inter alia, in the Finance Minister’s Budget
Speech on 6 July 2009: “We are committed to providing a real wage of Rs 100 a day as an
entitlement under the NREGA”. But instead, NREGA wages have effectively been frozen at Rs 100
per day in nominal terms (i.e. without any periodic adjustments for inflation). With prices increasing
by leaps and bounds, especially food prices, this freeze is eroding the real value of NREGA wages
month after month. The erosion of real wages threatens to undermine the entire programme, and in
any case, it is a gross injustice to NREGA workers, all the more so when millions of them are
struggling to survive under severe drought conditions.
(1) NREGA wages should be immediately indexed to the price level, using the Consumer
Price Index for Agricultural Labourers (CPIAL), with 1 April 2009 as the “base”, so that
the real value of the wage is at least Rs 100 per day at April 2009 prices. As long as
NREGA wage rates are set by the Central Government, they should be promptly
revised upwards every six months – or at most every twelve months - in line with the
CPIAL. (States that had wages notified at more than Rs 100/day at the time of the 1
January 2009 notification should have their wages indexed with their notified wage as
a base.)
(B) Compliance with Minimum Wages Act: The working group is also very concerned about the
implicit “overriding” of the Minimum Wages Act 1948 involved in switching from Section 6(2) to
Section 6(1) of NREGA, as a basis for setting wage rates. The relevant sections of NREGA are as
follows:
6.(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, the Central
Government may, by notification, specify the wage rate for the purposes of this Act:
Provided that different rates of wages may be specified for different areas:
Provided further that the wage rate specified from time to time under any such notification
shall not be at a rate less than sixty rupees per day.
Until January 2009, Section 6(2) was the basis of NREGA policy - state governments were setting
minimum wages for NREGA. On 1 January 2009, however, the Central Government issued a
notification that effectively “froze” the NREGA wages state-wise. Later, state governments were
allowed to raise the NREGA wages up to Rs 100 per day (if it was below that on 1 January 2009). This
new policy effectively activates Section 6(1) of the Act, which involves a potential if not actual
overriding the Minimum Wages Act. Indeed, it would be illegal for any state governments to pay
NREGA workers anything less than the minimum wage for the relevant occupation. And it is the
prerogative of state governments (not the Central Government) to set minimum wages. The Central
Government’s commitment, for its part, does not go beyond Rs 100 per day. An unacceptable
situation is thereby arising where NREGA workers in some states are being paid less than the
statutory minimum wage. There is, thus, a potential conflict between the current wage policy and
the Minimum Wages Act. This potential conflict needs to be resolved at the earliest, by amending
NREGA is need be, but in the meantime, what is of paramount importance is to avoid any actual
overriding of the Minimum Wages Act, so that the sanctity of this Act (affirmed by the Supreme
Court) is respected. In short, our recommendation is as follows:
(2) NREGA policy must be consistent with the Minimum Wages Act. In no circumstances
should this Act be overridden.
(C) Shorter work hours: A third urgent concern is the prolongation of NREGA working hours from
“seven hours” (the initial formulation, under Para 8(1) of Schedule I) to “nine hours” (the new
formulation, as per notification of 14 January 2008, amending Para 8(1) of Schedule I). Considering
the exacting nature of NREGA work, and the fact that many NREGA workers are undernourished, this
new provision is unfair and unnecessary, even if the said nine hours including one hour of rest, as
was subsequently clarified by the Ministry of Rural Development. We recommend a return to the
initial formulation:
(3) Para 8(1) of Schedule I of NREGA (“The Schedule of Rates of wages for various
unskilled labourers should be so fixed that an adult person working for nine hours
would normally earn a wage equal to the wage rate”) should be amended so that the
words “nine hours” are replaced with “seven hours”.

Letter from the Sonia Gandhi, Chairperson of the NAC to Dr. Manmohan Singh, Prime
Minister of India seeking minimum wages in the MGNREGA
Signed agreement with the Government of Rajasthan on the basis of which the Mazdoor Haq
Satyagraha stopped
Purpose
On 2nd October the workers at the Mazdoor Haq Satyagraha in Rajasthan decided to form a
People’ Pay Commission. This decision comes in light of the present situation where the
Minimum Wages Act (1948) has been violated via a Government of India (January 2009)
notification which froze minimum wages under MGNREGA at Rs. 100.
Rising prices of basic necessities has adversely affected the poor the most and the Fifth and
Sixth Pay commissions have increased the salaries of government servants significantly.
This Commission will be applicable to all skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workers. The
recommendations of this Commission will be presented to the public for debate, consultation,
suggestions and review.
The People’s Pay Commission is being constituted with the purpose of providing a platform
for workers to publicly discuss debate and determine the value of a days work especially for
those who earn on the basis of physical labour.
Terms of Reference
B. To examine the principles, the date of effect thereof that should govern the structure
of pay, allowances and other facilities/benefits whether in cash or in kind to workers
in all forms of employment already covered as well as those not covered by the
schedule. The Commission will discuss the need for omnibus minimum wage rate for
all.
C. To discuss and adopt primary criteria (need based or work based) to decide worth of a
day’s wage.
D. To put in place a mechanism that enables workers to decide and review at regular
intervals (half-yearly or annually?) the recommendations of this Commission.
for informal sector workers in general as well as for workers from different age
groups, women, marginalised communities and people with disabilities?
I. To examine desirability and the need to fight for any interim relief till the time the
recommendations of the Commission are made and accepted by the Government.
1. Are the “needs based’ formula and the norms laid down by the 15th Indian Labour
Conference (1957) and the Supreme Court decision in Workmen vs. Management of
Raptakos Brett & Co Ltd. (1992) a good starting point?
2. Since the “needs based” formula from the 15th Labour Conference (1957) mention linking
minimum wages to cost of living, should minimum wage be linked to Consumer Price Index
(CPI)?
3. Based on the norms laid down in the 1992 Supreme Court decision in Workmen vs.
Management of Raptakos Brett & Co Ltd. mention cost of children’s education, healthcare,
old age pension should amount to 25 percent of minimum wage, how should workers be
provided old age pensions, provident fund and access to free healthcare, children’s education
and provident fund benefits?

…when a person provides labour or service to another against receipt of remuneration, which is less
than the minimum wage, he is acting under the force of some compulsion which drives him to work
though he is paid less than what he is entitled under law to receive… What Article 23 prohibits is
'forced labour' that is labour or service which a person is forced to provide and 'force' which would
make such labour or service 'forced labour' may arise in several ways …There is no reason why the
word 'forced' should be read in a narrow and restricted manner so as to be confined only to physical
or legal 'force' particularly when the national charter, its fundamental document has promised to
build a new socialist republic where there will be socioeconomic justice for all and every one shall
have the right to work, to education and to adequate means of livelihood…
The People of Rajasthan decided to form a People’ Pay Commission on 2nd October 2010. This
decision comes in light of the present situation where the Minimum Wages Act (1948) has been
violated while the rising prices of basic necessities has adversely affected the poor the most and the
Fifth and Sixth Pay commissions have increased the salaries of government servants significantly.
This Commission will be applicable to all workers, skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workers. The
recommendations of this Commission will be presented to the public for debate, consultation,
suggestions and review.
Statement of reason
2. The Minimum Wages Act (1948) established powers of the Government of India to fix minimum
wages. The Act holds that minimum wages should be revised at intervals not exceeding 5 years.
The 15th Indian Labour Conference (1957) put forward a “needs based” formula for fixing minimum
wage that would take into consideration the following components:
In the case of Workmen vs. Management of Raptakos Brett & Co Ltd. (1992) the Supreme Court held
that the following components should be added to the “needs based” formula put forward by the
15th Indian Labour Conference (1957):
- Children’s education
- Medical requirement
- Minimum recreation including festivals/ceremonies
- Provision for old age
- Marriages
These should amount to twenty five percent of the total minimum wage.
3. After independence all the needs of the organized sector workforce have been ensured and
regularly improved upon. Every ten years the government of India constitutes a Pay Commission
whose recommendations are duly implemented. Other than serving as a regular mechanism to
revise salaries of all public officials/employees and linking the revisions to the consumer price index,
the Pay Commission also looks into the provision of pensions for this particular segment. The
workforce whose salaries and benefits are decided by Pay Commissions is the same as the pool from
which members of these Commissions are drawn.
5. Such an unequal approach towards the workers in the unorganized labour force who are
burdened by poverty, drought and unemployment was questioned almost 35 years ago in Rajasthan
when workers working on Famine Relief Works took up the issue of non payment of minimum
wages. Women workers on these worksites organized a protest demanding payment of minimum
wages.
6. Eighteen years since the Workmen vs. Management of Raptakos Brett & Co Ltd decision of the
Supreme Court that laid down what should be the minimum wage as per standards laid down by law
and the Courts there has been no significant increase in minimum wages for the unorganized sector.
In the current situation of rising prices of basic necessities the unorganized labour force often
continues to receive wages below the minimum wage stipulated by the state government.
7. The minimum wage in Rajasthan has been stagnant at Rs. 100 per day for the last 4 years. In a
situation in which minimum wage laws are rarely enforced especially in the unorganized sector, the
only way to ensure regular increase in wages is to increase wages under the Mahatma Gandhi
National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), which will effectively push up the wages
outside of the MGNREGA as well. One of the greatest successes of the MGNREGA is that, even in
geographical areas where implementation has been poor, it has managed to give workers bargaining
power to fight for minimum wages.
8. The Government of Rajasthan announced a thirty five percent increase in minimum wages but did
not extend the same to the MGNREGA. The index for ‘Food Articles’ rose to 179.0 in September
2010 from a base of 100 fixed in 2004 - 05. At a time when inflation in staple food items has
increased by about eighty percent the Government of India fixed the wage rate at Rs. 100 thereby
pushing the minimum wage in many states below the official minimum wage of the state. As a result
State Governments with minimum wage rates exceeding Rs 100 (AP Rs. 112- 162, Goa Rs. 157,
Jharkhand Rs. 144, Karnataka Rs. 120, Punjab Rs. 137, MP Rs 114, HP Rs. 110, and Maharashtra Rs.
144-160) have been restrained and have not been able to pay workers under MGNREGA.
As a result this Commission puts forward the following General Principles on Minimum Wage for
public debate:
1. Are the “needs based’ formula and the norms laid down by the 15th Indian Labour Conference
(1957) and the Supreme Court decision in Workmen vs. Management of Raptakos Brett & Co Ltd.
(1992) good:
2. Since the “needs based” formula from the 15th Labour Conference (1957) mention linking
minimum wages to cost of living, should minimum wage be linked to Consumer Price Index (CPI)?
3. Since the norms laid down in the 1992 Supreme Court decision mention cost of children’s
education, healthcare, old age pension should amount to 25 percent of minimum wage, should
workers be provided old age pensions, provident fund and access to free healthcare, children’s
education and provident fund benefits?
4. Should more than 15 day delay in wage payments be accompanied by a mechanism for
compensation payment with interest for each day of delay?

Principal Secretary,
Government of Rajasthan
Dear Sir,
Sub: In relation to the order refusing registration of “the Rajasthan Rojgar Guarantee
Majdoor Union” under the Trade Unions Act, 1926
Ref: Order of the Registrar of Trade Unions dated 3.8.2010 numbered as F.1/RTU/A-4/2010
– 24180
This is in relation to the order of the Registrar of Trade Unions dated 3.8.2010 rejecting the
application to get the Rajasthan Rojgar Guarantee Majdoor Union registered under the Trade Unions
Act, 1926. In this behalf, we want to submit the following clarifications:
1. In para 6 of the order, the Registrar has observed that the applicant union was asked by the
department “to clarify as to how the persons employed under NREGA can be considered
workmen and how NREGA can be trade or industry for the purpose of registration of trade
union under the Trade Unions Act, 1926”. It has also been observed in this relation that the
applicant union did not submit any clarification to this query of the department.
We want to put on record that the applicant union never received any such query from the
department in the first place. There has been correspondence between the department and
the applicant union, but the office of the Registrar never sought a clarification of the nature
mentioned in para 6 of the order.
2. It is noteworthy that the purpose of the Trade Unions Act, 1926 is to foster an environment
which will facilitate collective assertion of the rights of the workers. In the decision of Bank
of India Employees’ Association v. Reserve Bank of India, (1983) 2 LLN 872 (Bom), the court
also emphasized collective bargaining as the primary purpose of this trade unions legislation.
Also, due regard must be given to the nature of MGNREGA in relation to which the applicant
union is seeking to take benefit of the registration under the Trade Unions Act. MGNREGA is
the first of the rights based legislations in the legislative history of this country providing for
a legal guarantee of 100 days employment. Any union which has its primary aim to further
the implementation of a beneficial right based legislation like MGNREGA, therefore, should
receive full advantage of the Trade Unions Act which was enacted to enhance the bargaining
power of the workers to claim their duly recognized rights.
In light of the above, we put forward the claim of the Rajasthan Rojgar Guarantee Majdoor Union for
registration under the Trade Unions Act, 1926.
Yours Sincerely,
Paras Banjara,
Secretary

Of several nomadic communities of Rajasthan, Banjaras is one of the largest nomadic groups. They
are spread over all the districts of the state and are known by their sub-caste names like Bamaniya,
Labana, Maru Bhaat, Bagora Bhaat, Baldiya, Rao Bhaat, Gavariya etc. It is believed that ‘Gypsies’ or
‘Roma’ of Europe have their origin in western Rajasthan. There is a striking similarity in their
language and western Rajasthan’s Banjari language. Even today, there are many similar words used in
these regions.
Unlike many other nomadic groups, Banjaras have been open about allowing others to become part of
their community. While being constantly mobile, they always allowed other people to join caravan
and gradually become part of the community.
Historically, this community has never accepted or bound itself to a physical regional boundary and
have always chosen and valued their freedom and mobility over sedentarisation. Seeing this mobility
as a threat, British rule brought in one of the most draconian laws, Criminal Tribes Act in 1871 to
curb their mobility and freedom declaring them criminals. Under this act, many such nomadic
communities were declared criminal tribes.
Traditionally they used to carry and sell grains, salt and other utility items from one place to another
and played an important role in distribution of various essential products. They were also involved in
bullock trade. Their silent contribution through distribution in the economic growth of a region has
never been recognized.
In Rajathan, salt selling was one of the main source of livelihoods for Banjaras. They used to transport
salt loaded on bullocks from the salt mines in Sambhar, Phulera, Nawa, Pachbadra, Lunkaransar,
Revasa to various non salt producing regions. Heavy taxation and ban on the movement of salt during
British rule had serious impact on Banjara’s traditional occupation.
After the independence, they are no more ‘criminals’ but their being ‘nomadic’ has never been
acknowledged as a dignified lifestyle.
In villages, they live one or two kilometers away from the main village in their community
settlements known as ‘tanda’. Most of them have no land entitlement for a house in the village. As a
result, though many of them have houses, they have no electricity connection; water facilities and
most importantly have no security and rights over their home land. The level of education is very low
amongst Banjaras. Many of them have no election or ration cards. 3000 families living in Jaipur for
more than 20 years, have no ration cards till date.
Currently, many of them are involved in the trade of bullocks, buffaloes, gum, blankets, fodder, geru,
cots etc. Many of them have migrated to the cities and live in temporary settlements / shanties. A
significant number of them are also involved in casual labour.
On 25 August, 1995, a major jolt came to their livelihood when the state government passed an act
allegedly under the pressure from Hindu fundamentalist organizations, the Rajasthan Bovine Animal
(Prohibition of Slaughter and Regulation of Temporary Migration or Export) Act, 1995. This made it
very difficult for the Banjaras to continue their bullockr trade. When found moving with bullocks,
their bullocks were often confiscated under the pretext of being carried for slaughter.
Issues
1. Identity – Many Banjaras have no ration cards, election cards or any other official identity
documents necessary for obtaining benefits under the Government schemes.
2. Livelihood – Difficulty in carrying out traditional occupation and lack of any alternative
livelihood options.
3. Primary Facilities – Many Banjara settlements do not have easy access to water, electricity
and health.
4. Education – Leading a nomadic lifestyle for a living implies that their children constantly get
left out of schooling and the government has not thought of any specific system for them.
5. NREGA – Those who do not have ration cards can not get job cards under NREGA and get
left out of NREGA works.
6. Reservation – Banjaras were accorded OBC status and after the Gurjar agitation, came under
SBC but this classification is unlikely to be of any help. In fact, they deserve to be classified
as tribes.
7. Forest Rights Act - Some of Banjaras sub-castes are traditionally forest-dwellers but under the
Forest Rights Act 2005, they have been kept bereft of their rights.
Demands
1. A survey of all Banjara groups should be done to issue ration cards, photo identities etc to all
those who do not posses it. Keeping in view their mobile lifestyle and migration patterns they
should be given mobile ration cards valid over their migratory route.
2. They should be given free residential land and where they are currently residing (whether in
rural or urban area), the concerned local body should provide them with free pattas. A special
housing scheme should also be made for them.
3. Traditional occupation of bullock trade should be acknowledged and all the necessary support
must be provided to them for carrying it out in a dignified manner without any harassment.
They should be given licenses for purchase and sale of bullocks meant for agriculture.
4. Job cards for all those who don’t have them under NREGA. This community must be
included in the BPL category.
6. Water, electricity, health care - all these basic facilities should be provided to them. Special
residential hostels to be opened for their children, so they can get an education.
7. A special development scheme or program to made on the lines of that for Sahariyas.
8. A specific study to be undertaken to understand the social, financial and educational level of
this community.
9. Banjaras should be included as a Scheduled Tribe. Those Banjaras who reside in the forests
should be given pattas under the Forest Rights Act 2005, as they are also a community who
have been inhabiting forests for generations.
