2. •The latest report of the NSSO uploaded by the close
of May 2011 about the casual workers in India between
2004-05 and 2009-10 compared to that of the period
between 1999 – 2000 and 2004-05 very clearly shows
that there is significant increase in the number of
casual workers and decline in the number of regular
workers.
•More than 90% of the total workforce has been
engaged in the informal economy.
•. Among the unorganized sector workers, a
considerable proportion (about 65%) is engaged in
agricultural sector, which in turn indicates the
prominence of rural segment in the informal
economy.

8. CURRENT CONDITION
 highly proclaimed National Rural Employment
Guarantee Act -2005 (NREGA), though it is a
breakthrough, doesn’t have common wage in different
states and limits itself only to hundred day’s work for
those registered worker under the Act. What about the
rest of the days in an year? As per this Act, the work
guarantee applies in rural areas only, what about the
urban poor?
 Even the provisions and procedure of the Minimum
Wages Act (1948) is so vague and futile that different
states of India have fixed abysmally meagre wages and
that too with so much of variations from state to state.

9. • All the workers with their respective identities
must register themselves at their corresponding
block or subdivision
•The registration procedure would require aadhar
card as their basic recognisation identities.
•There would be an age restriction (above 16 years).
•Registered workers must attend in skill
development sessions.
•All the necessary details regarding their family
members must be submited.

10. DEMERITS OF OUR PLAN
 THERE MAY BE CORRUPTION AT VARIOUS LEVELS.
 OVER EXPLOITATION WOULD BE A SERIOUS
CONCERN e.g..a labour working for 10 hours per day might
work for 15 hours for extra wage and this will be an
unregulated money
 MALPRACTICES REGARDING THE RECRUITMENT CAN
IMPOSE SERIOUS IRREGULARITIES IN FUNCTIONING
OF THE BODY
e.g.. They can recruit labours below 16 year that is illegal as
per norms stated and they will pay them according their own
desire.
