Garib Kalyan Rojgar Abhiyaan: A travesty on migrant workers -Vikram

-Down to Earth

Its primary aim is to woo voters in Bihar where elections will take place later this year

While the whole country is fighting against the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the priority of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is to manage Rajya Sabha elections and campaign for the Bihar state assembly elections.

The launch of ‘Garib Kalyan Rojgar Abhiyaan’ by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on June 20, 2020, is nothing but an extension of the election campaign through government machinery.

The campaign was launched from Telihar village of Beldaur block of Bihar’s Khagaria district.

The scheme

The initial details of the scheme were provided by finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman in a press conference on June 18, 2020.

According to the official communique: “The programme, aimed at boosting livelihood opportunities in rural India, will create durable infrastructure along with boosting employment opportunities.”

The scheme is being propagated in media and the public as a new programme to generate employment opportunities in rural India for migrant workers returning home amid the coronavirus outbreak and lockdown.

A closer look reveals that there is nothing new in the scheme. It is just 25 existing schemes bundled together in the name of providing jobs to migrant workers.
