How An Aadhaar Fraud Forces The Poor Into Paying For Welfare Schemes They Do Not Want

Across India, banks are enrolling account-holders in social security schemes without their assent. Kiosk operators or banks’ business correspondents deceitfully obtain customers’ fingerprints for authentication via the Aadhaar-enabled Payment System, thus imposing the Narendra Modi government’s welfare schemes on the rural poor. Kiosk operators allege that banks pressurise them to enrol customers, by hook or crook, in the government’s life insurance, accident insurance and pension schemes.

Budget 2023 Has Chilling Implications for India's People

It seems that the Narendra Modi government has decided, in an election year, that general elections can be fought and won without efforts to improve the material conditions of the bulk of the people, and even simply ignoring their suffering, writes Jayati Ghosh

Destroying MGNREGA could be the final step in creating a vulnerable population that could become modern forms of bonded labourers or, worse, enslaved people in a neoliberal economy.

Today is 1 year since @BJP4India@twitter.com has not paid #mgnrega workers from #WestBengal wages. Over 1 crore workers are owed Rs 2744 crores! The law says pay in 15 days. The Supreme Court says delay is "forced labour". The Centre says the state is corrupt- so cut funds off! Who suffers?

Bihar has generated 16.5 crore persondays so far in this financial year under MGNREGS. Our SC/ST and women participation has improved as well.

We are moving towards better livelihood convergence between MGNREGA and Jeevika.
