&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;A rise in work allocation through the pandemic saw an enthusiastic response. Now, delayed wages and reduced allocation forces workers out of the district again.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Bardha Girdhar had to wait more than six months to get Rs 2,976 he had earned for digging trenches in Nandurbar. A farmer who own a patch of land of a little over two acres in the district, Giridhar spends some part of the year growing jowar and urad dal. But in the months when there is no rain to irrigate this land, he seeks out other work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In February, Giridhar took up work under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, or MGNREGA, in the hope of bringing home some food, and buying seeds and agricultural tools. In Nandurbar, demand for MGNREGA work typically spikes around the summer season, since many farmers cannot irrigate their land.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;For 12 days, Giridhar worked to create continuous contour trenches &amp;ndash; pits on the slopes of hills that store some rainwater and create a channel for the rest to flow. For each day of work, he was assured a payment of Rs 248.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But the money did not come.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;MGNREGA assures every rural household a minimum of 100 days of unskilled labour work a year. As per the law, the wage, which varies from state to state, has to be credited in the worker&amp;rsquo;s bank account within 15 days of the completion of the work. If payments come late, a worker has to be compensated with interest at 0.05% of the unpaid wages per day for the period of the delay.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Girdhar said that he had faced late payments in the past too, but that this time, the delay was prolonged. &amp;ldquo;Since no money came from the first work, I did not take up any more work,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;/p&gt;

A farmer who own a patch of land of a little over two acres in the district, Giridhar spends some part of the year growing jowar and urad dal. But in the months when there is no rain to irrigate this land, he seeks out other work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In February, Giridhar took up work under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, or MGNREGA, in the hope of bringing home some food, and buying seeds and agricultural tools. In Nandurbar, demand for MGNREGA work typically spikes around the summer season, since many farmers cannot irrigate their land.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;For 12 days, Giridhar worked to create continuous contour trenches &amp;ndash; pits on the slopes of hills that store some rainwater and create a channel for the rest to flow. For each day of work, he was assured a payment of Rs 248.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But the money did not come.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;MGNREGA assures every rural household a minimum of 100 days of unskilled labour work a year. As per the law, the wage, which varies from state to state, has to be credited in the worker&amp;rsquo;s bank account within 15 days of the completion of the work. If payments come late, a worker has to be compensated with interest at 0.05% of the unpaid wages per day for the period of the delay.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Girdhar said that he had faced late payments in the past too, but that this time, the delay was prolonged. &amp;ldquo;Since no money came from the first work, I did not take up any more work,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://scroll.in/article/1033508/in-nandurbar-delayed-mgnrega-wages-trap-workers-in-a-vicious-cycle-of-debt-and-migration&quot; title=&quot;https://scroll.in/article/1033508/in-nandurbar-delayed-mgnrega-wages-trap-workers-in-a-vicious-cycle-of-debt-and-migration&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

In Nandurbar, delayed MGNREGA wages trap workers in a vicious cycle of debt and migration -Tabassum Barnagarwala

-Scroll.in A rise in work allocation through the pandemic saw an enthusiastic response. Now, delayed wages and reduced allocation forces workers out of the district again. Bardha Girdhar had to wait more than six months to get Rs 2,976 he had earned for digging trenches in Nandurbar. A farmer who own a patch of land of a little over two acres in the district, Giridhar spends some part of the year growing jowar and urad dal. But in the months when there is no rain to irrigate this land, he seeks out other work. In February, Giridhar took up work under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, or MGNREGA, in the hope of bringing home some food, and buying seeds and agricultural tools. In Nandurbar, demand for MGNREGA work typically spikes around the summer season, since many farmers cannot irrigate their land. For 12 days, Giridhar worked to create continuous contour trenches – pits on the slopes of hills that store some rainwater and create a channel for the rest to flow. For each day of work, he was assured a payment of Rs 248. But the money did not come. MGNREGA assures every rural household a minimum of 100 days of unskilled labour work a year. As per the law, the wage, which varies from state to state, has to be credited in the worker’s bank account within 15 days of the completion of the work. If payments come late, a worker has to be compensated with interest at 0.05% of the unpaid wages per day for the period of the delay. Girdhar said that he had faced late payments in the past too, but that this time, the delay was prolonged. “Since no money came from the first work, I did not take up any more work,” he said.
