Guarantee at least 100 days of NREGA work at a real wage of Rs 100 a day as an entitlement
“the Indian National Congress now pledges at least 100 days of work at a real wage of Rs 100 a day for everyone as an entitlement under the NREGA.”
AADHA ADHURAPartially kept
The verdict
The 100-day entitlement stayed in the Act and wages were delinked from the Minimum Wages Act from 2009. The source read does not confirm the Rs 100 figure, and actual average days of work were far below 100.
