DYFI stands in solidarity with the MGNREGA workers strike called for 15th May by All India Agricultural Workers Union.
This is an important call at a juncture where a measure that was implemented for ensuring employment is being attacked by the Central Government structurally. Down the years from its implementation, the fund allocated towards MGNREGA has reduced drastically and with the introduction of VB GRAM(G), the attack reached its pinnacle. The workers of the country will get on to the streets on 15th demanding the strengthening of MGNREGA, increasing the daily wages and number of working days, roll back of VB GRAM(G) and exclusionary technology.
