Wages given under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) will soon be raised in all states. MGNREGA wages have been linked to inflation since 2011, and an inflation-indexed wage revision is to happen every April. The Act promises at least 100 days of guaranteed wage employment in a year to every rural citizen. This year's revision will see wages go up in Rajasthan from Rs 133 per day to Rs 149 per day and in Kerala, from Rs 164 to Rs 180. (BS)
