Port Blair, May 23: ANTCC President Mr. Rangalal Halder has demanded the Administration for enhancement in pay scale packages for MNREGA Employees.
In a letter addressed to the Secretary (RD), A & N Administration Mr. Halder said that The MGNREGA scheme has been granted positive response and has been successful in providing employment to millions of people and has contributed significantly to the development of rural areas.
He stated that the current pay scale for MNREGA Employees is inadequate and does not reflect the hard work and dedication that the Employees put in.
The current wage rate of MNREGA Employees is insufficient to meet the basic needs of a worker and their family. The cost of living has risen substantially over the years, and it is essential that the pay scale for MNREGA Employees will be revised to reflect the current economic situation.
Mr. Halder has proposed the salary enhancement for the MGNREGA Employees as under: Programme Officer *(PO)*-*Rs. 65000*, Assistant Engineer* (AE)*-*Rs.55000, *Accountant-*Rs.45000*, Data Entry Operator* (DEO)* – *Rs.35000*, Gram Rozgar Sewak *(GRS)*-*Rs.35000, *Technical Assistant*(TA)*- *Rs.35000*.
He has further requested to take an emergent action for enhancing the pay scale for MNREGA Employees and to take responsibility to recognize the hard work and contribution of the Employees to ensure enhancement with the pay scale packages.
