<h1>Rural employment guarantee: call to raise minimum wage and increase guaranteed workdays to strengthen scheme protections.</h1> The text urges strengthening MGNREGA by raising the daily minimum wage and increasing guaranteed annual workdays, contends that budget allocations have stagnated and are partly consumed by past liabilities, and highlights delays and inadequate inflation adjustment in wage payments. It criticises Aadhaar-linked payment systems and the National Mobile Monitoring System as exclusionary, demands removal of the Aadhaar Payments Bridge System and NMMS, and calls for adequate, timely funding and elimination of administrative barriers so that MGNREGA provides dignified employment and financial security.
