Many field workers, some of whom have not been paid since November 2019, say they have not received any official communication for the delay either.

Mumbai: In January 2018, as soon as Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated his dream project ‘Aspirational District Programme‘, Sona Devi* was among the first few from Ghumla, a tribal district in Jharkhand, to join the workforce.

Sona, 23, unemployed and a first-generation literate woman, was offered Rs 4,500 and appointed as a ‘Sathi’ under the programme. She had to travel from village to village and conduct long, arduous surveys. The job opportunity looked lucrative and Sona was confident that the programme would contribute towards changing the face of the district.

Two years later, however, with a disproportionately heavy workload and erratic salary disbursement, Sona says the project has only exploited marginalised tribal youths of the country further.

According to her, she and 13 others working in Ghumla district have not been paid since February. Meanwhile, the workload has continued to increase.
