KEY POINTS
The majority of India’s working population is today reeling from the impact of multiple crises: a health emergency more ferocious than any in independent India
Criticisms
· The Supreme Court directed the Centre and the State governments of Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh to provide free rations without insisting on ID proof to all migrant workers.
· It did not extend the facility to the country as a whole; it did not extend the facility to cover cash payments by the state besides meals and ration;
Vaccine
· The most brazen violation of the right to life by the state at present is its vaccine policy.
· Being vaccinated against COVID-19 is essential for defending one’s right to life; and since the state must respect everyone’s right to life.
· At least 90% of workers are informal, with no legal or social protection, denied adequate compensation over the past year of lockdowns.
Range of measures
· Among them are enabling expanded production and central procurement of COVID-19 vaccines, and distribution to States for free immunisation to all;
· universal access to free foodgrains of 5 kg per month to all those who require it for the next six months; cash transfers of Rs 7,000 per household for at least three months to those without regular formal employment;
· Increased resources to the Integrated Child Development Services to enable revival and expansion of their programmes;
· Making the MGNREGS purely demand-driven, with no ceilings on the number of days or the number of beneficiaries per household;
· Interstate migrant workers act 1979 to be reformed for the welfare of labours.
