Marking-scheme solution
(a) Explain the efforts done by the Indian government towards
$\displaystyle 27$-
“Right to work”.
The Central Government in India made a law
implementing the ‘Right to Work’ in about $\displaystyle 625$ districts
of India.
Under “Right to Work”, MGNREGA (Mahtama
Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act)
$\displaystyle 2005$/Viksit BharatGuarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mis
sion or (G RAM G $\displaystyle 2025$) was implemented. This ensured
all those who are able to, and need work in rural areas
are guaranteed $\displaystyle 100$ days (now $\displaystyle 125$ days) of employment
in a year by the government.
Government has provided reservation of seats for SC/ST
under this act.
If the government fails in its duty to provide
employment, it will give unemployment allowances to
the people.
The types of work that would help to increase the
production from land will be given preference under
‘Right to Work’. For example, construction of dams and
canals to irrigate farms, construction of roads, and
storages, etc.
The government has made many provisions for banks
and cooperative societies which lend money to people
so that they could borrow cheaply for a variety of needs.
They could grow crops, set up small businesses and
construct wells to irrigate farms.
(vii) The NITI Aayog has suggested the government that
employment could be generated at small scale in different
areas. For example, NITI Aayog estimates that nearly $\displaystyle 20$
lakh jobs can be created in the education sector alone.
(viii) Provision of honey collection centres, local crafts and
small scale agriculture-based industries (e.g. dal mills),
food processing industries etc. will also generate
employment.
The government implements various laws to ensure fair
working conditions which is a key part of the Right to
Work. This is done by ensuring workers security of
employment
and
protecting
vulnerable
workers
especially in the unorganised sectors.
Improvement in the health sector will create the need for
doctors, nurses, health workers etc. to work in rural areas
which will generate jobs.
All these activities and services can create employment,
improve the income, rural prosperity and well-being of
people.
