Wage rates under MGNREGA revised

MUMBAI: The government has revised the wage rates of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) with effect from April 1, 2013.

The maximum wage of Rs 214 has been fixed for Haryana and a minimum of Rs 135 for North Eastern States.

The notification regarding revising MNREGA wage rates is linked to the consumer price index for agricultural labour (CPIAL) from April 1 every year.

In March 2011, after inter-ministerial consultations, the government had decided that the revision of MNREGA wage rates indexed to the CPIAL would be done annually.

Thereafter, in July 2011, it was decided that this revision would become effective on April 1 each year. The decision to index MGNREGA wage rate to CPIAL was done to ensure that MGNREGA workers are protected against inflation.

Rural development minister Jairam Ramesh recently made a statement in both houses of parliament specifying the new wage rate.

MGNREGA aims at enhancing the livelihood security of people in rural areas by guaranteeing hundred days of wage-employment in a financial year to a rural household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work.

In the Union Budget this year, an allocation of Rs 80,194 crore was made for the ministry of rural development for 2013-14, marking an increase of 46% over the previous year.
