No better scheme than NREGS for sustainable livelihood of unskilled workers: House panel

-The Telegraph

The committee said, “The absence of reliable and authentic data/information on the numbers of migrant workforce and their movement back to their home States following the outbreak of the Pandemic has apparently impacted the relief and rehabilitation measures.”

Commending the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, a parliamentary standing committee has said that there is no “better scheme” to provide “sustainable livelihood” to unskilled workers.

The Standing Committee on Labour, headed by BJD member Bhartruhari Mahtab, said, “The Committee are of the firm opinion that there is no better Scheme than the MGNREGS to provide sustainable livelihood to the unskilled workers including the inter-state migrant labourers.”

“In fact, by enacting the MGNREGA Law in 2005, the Indian Parliament had set in motion a process that provides for a specific and significant welfare provision, constitutive of the very idea of citizenship,” the committee said in its report on ‘Social Security and Welfare Measures for Inter-State Migrant Workers’, which was tabled in the Lok Sabha on Thursday.
