&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Daily wage work has dried up and there&amp;rsquo;s no help forthcoming from the government.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The narrow lanes cutting through farmland are dotted with brick, wood and asbestos shanties. One in particular, located in Dhakephal village in Maharashtra&amp;rsquo;s Beed district, is lit by a single yellow bulb. It&amp;rsquo;s home to Swati Sriganga Ramdave, 24, and her family of seven.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Outside the house, Swati&amp;rsquo;s youngest daughter Aarohi, 4, tugged at her grandmother Gitabai&amp;rsquo;s sari, asking for money to buy a packet of chips from the local kirana before it closes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Here, go get one packet. The small one,&amp;rdquo; said Gitabai, unfolding a ten-rupee note from her blouse and handing it to her.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Money is tight in the Ramdave household. Swati works as a seasonal sugarcane cutter, one of over six lakh cane cutters in the Marathwada region of the state. From October to April every year, she migrates to western Maharashtra and Karnataka to cut and load sugarcane harvests for sugar factories. This has been her job since she was 15 years old.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Ever since the second wave of Covid hit rural Maharashtra, sugarcane cutters, who already live a hand to mouth existence, have been struggling to find opportunities for work and to keep their hearths burning. With seven other mouths to feed &amp;ndash; three daughters, her parents, and brother &amp;ndash; Swati has barely found any work in the last two months.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Seasonal sugarcane cutters are hired by local contractors, or mukadams. Koytas or those who work in pairs with their spouses usually get an advance payment of around Rs 50,000 before they migrate. Solitary workers, called ardhya koyta, get half that amount as advance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;They then migrate and work for six months to pay off the advance. During this period, they live in makeshift tarpaulin shelters during the winter months, often facing verbal and physical abuse from their contractors. Their work days start at dawn and end only when all the cane is loaded onto trucks after midnight.&lt;/p&gt;

	&#039;title&#039; =&gt; &#039;Covid has pushed seasonal sugarcane cutters in Maharashtra’s Beed to the brink of poverty -Diksha Munjal and Tanishka Sodhi&#039;,

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Daily wage work has dried up and there&amp;rsquo;s no help forthcoming from the government.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The narrow lanes cutting through farmland are dotted with brick, wood and asbestos shanties. One in particular, located in Dhakephal village in Maharashtra&amp;rsquo;s Beed district, is lit by a single yellow bulb. It&amp;rsquo;s home to Swati Sriganga Ramdave, 24, and her family of seven.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Outside the house, Swati&amp;rsquo;s youngest daughter Aarohi, 4, tugged at her grandmother Gitabai&amp;rsquo;s sari, asking for money to buy a packet of chips from the local kirana before it closes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Here, go get one packet. The small one,&amp;rdquo; said Gitabai, unfolding a ten-rupee note from her blouse and handing it to her.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Money is tight in the Ramdave household. Swati works as a seasonal sugarcane cutter, one of over six lakh cane cutters in the Marathwada region of the state. From October to April every year, she migrates to western Maharashtra and Karnataka to cut and load sugarcane harvests for sugar factories. This has been her job since she was 15 years old.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Ever since the second wave of Covid hit rural Maharashtra, sugarcane cutters, who already live a hand to mouth existence, have been struggling to find opportunities for work and to keep their hearths burning. With seven other mouths to feed &amp;ndash; three daughters, her parents, and brother &amp;ndash; Swati has barely found any work in the last two months.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Seasonal sugarcane cutters are hired by local contractors, or mukadams. Koytas or those who work in pairs with their spouses usually get an advance payment of around Rs 50,000 before they migrate. Solitary workers, called ardhya koyta, get half that amount as advance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;They then migrate and work for six months to pay off the advance. During this period, they live in makeshift tarpaulin shelters during the winter months, often facing verbal and physical abuse from their contractors. Their work days start at dawn and end only when all the cane is loaded onto trucks after midnight.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Daily wage work has dried up and there&amp;rsquo;s no help forthcoming from the government.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The narrow lanes cutting through farmland are dotted with brick, wood and asbestos shanties. One in particular, located in Dhakephal village in Maharashtra&amp;rsquo;s Beed district, is lit by a single yellow bulb. It&amp;rsquo;s home to Swati Sriganga Ramdave, 24, and her family of seven.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Outside the house, Swati&amp;rsquo;s youngest daughter Aarohi, 4, tugged at her grandmother Gitabai&amp;rsquo;s sari, asking for money to buy a packet of chips from the local kirana before it closes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Here, go get one packet. The small one,&amp;rdquo; said Gitabai, unfolding a ten-rupee note from her blouse and handing it to her.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Money is tight in the Ramdave household. Swati works as a seasonal sugarcane cutter, one of over six lakh cane cutters in the Marathwada region of the state. From October to April every year, she migrates to western Maharashtra and Karnataka to cut and load sugarcane harvests for sugar factories. This has been her job since she was 15 years old.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Ever since the second wave of Covid hit rural Maharashtra, sugarcane cutters, who already live a hand to mouth existence, have been struggling to find opportunities for work and to keep their hearths burning. With seven other mouths to feed &amp;ndash; three daughters, her parents, and brother &amp;ndash; Swati has barely found any work in the last two months.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Seasonal sugarcane cutters are hired by local contractors, or mukadams. Koytas or those who work in pairs with their spouses usually get an advance payment of around Rs 50,000 before they migrate. Solitary workers, called ardhya koyta, get half that amount as advance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;They then migrate and work for six months to pay off the advance. During this period, they live in makeshift tarpaulin shelters during the winter months, often facing verbal and physical abuse from their contractors. Their work days start at dawn and end only when all the cane is loaded onto trucks after midnight.&lt;/p&gt;

Covid has pushed seasonal sugarcane cutters in Maharashtra’s Beed to the brink of poverty -Diksha Munjal and Tanishka Sodhi

-Newslaundry.com Daily wage work has dried up and there’s no help forthcoming from the government. The narrow lanes cutting through farmland are dotted with brick, wood and asbestos shanties. One in particular, located in Dhakephal village in Maharashtra’s Beed district, is lit by a single yellow bulb. It’s home to Swati Sriganga Ramdave, 24, and her family of seven. Outside the house, Swati’s youngest daughter Aarohi, 4, tugged at her grandmother Gitabai’s sari, asking for money to buy a packet of chips from the local kirana before it closes. “Here, go get one packet. The small one,” said Gitabai, unfolding a ten-rupee note from her blouse and handing it to her. Money is tight in the Ramdave household. Swati works as a seasonal sugarcane cutter, one of over six lakh cane cutters in the Marathwada region of the state. From October to April every year, she migrates to western Maharashtra and Karnataka to cut and load sugarcane harvests for sugar factories. This has been her job since she was 15 years old. Ever since the second wave of Covid hit rural Maharashtra, sugarcane cutters, who already live a hand to mouth existence, have been struggling to find opportunities for work and to keep their hearths burning. With seven other mouths to feed – three daughters, her parents, and brother – Swati has barely found any work in the last two months. Seasonal sugarcane cutters are hired by local contractors, or mukadams. Koytas or those who work in pairs with their spouses usually get an advance payment of around Rs 50,000 before they migrate. Solitary workers, called ardhya koyta, get half that amount as advance. They then migrate and work for six months to pay off the advance. During this period, they live in makeshift tarpaulin shelters during the winter months, often facing verbal and physical abuse from their contractors. Their work days start at dawn and end only when all the cane is loaded onto trucks after midnight. Please click here to read more.
