Featured in State of Working India (2026) – Tamoghna Halder & I study youth participation in public employment schemes. Over the last decade, NREGS has emerged as a real & relevant work option for young people, especially where enough jobs opportunities may be scarce. We find..🧵

@ShrithaSampath ok there's no need to announce to the world

[Nanditha @nanditha_ajith]

@ShrithaSampath yeah, always putting me on the spot

Nearly 10,000 workers gathered in Freedom Park, Bangalore discussing how #MGNREGA was transformative in a Workers' Mahapanchayat. They all called to #RejectVBGRAMG & to reinstante #MGNREGA . Workers sent a Memorandum to the President of India

Sharjeel Imam and Umar Khalid were no bomb-throwing revolutionaries. I taught both of them, and they impressed me with their intelligence, diligence and capacity for thinking differently.

This week’s comic for @thenewsminute

[Rajendran Narayanan @rajendran_naray]

The Act replacing NREGA is an economic disaster. I argue @TheHinduComment how it undermines federalism. It's an assault on Ambedkar's spirit of empowering citizens with rights. Poorer states would be badly hit. Women & landless most affected. Bring back NREGA

@Vijayshreeeee Have you tried: `set scheme schemename, permanently`

Live tweets from our session on the Bulldozer Bill: Action for NREGA

Happening Now!!

[Road Scholarz @roadscholarz]

The VB-G RAM G Bill is all set to sink India’s employment guarantee in the guise of revamping it.

[Rajendran Narayanan @rajendran_naray]

Astounding police to people ratio. 5 MPs extended solidarity with NREGA Sangharsh Morcha members resisting the assault on Article 19 & Article 21. Every village will stand up to this onslaught on rights. The VBGRAMG Bill is not against 1 or 2 workers but against 26cr workers.

Humans of MGNREGA

[Road Scholarz @roadscholarz]

Stiglitz, Piketty, Tcherneva and other leading world economists write "open letter" to urge Indian govt not to repeal MGNREGA. Full text in next tweet.

[Road Scholarz @roadscholarz]

The G RAM G is all set to destroy MGNREGA in the guise of revamping it as a new scheme. Here are 3 big issues:
1. Central govt retains power to decide where and when the new scheme comes into force (!!!). This makes a mockery of the legal guarantee.

[Rajendran Narayanan @rajendran_naray]

See the way NREGA is being killed by the new Bill. This bill needs to be resisted fully. Down with new bill. It's annihilation of rights. Image courtesy: @NREGA_Sangharsh @_YogendraYadav @prasanna_s @clifroz @pbhushan1 @AnjaliB_ @nikhilmkss

If you had to read one thing about India's development policies this week, consider this excellent piece on 20 years of the NREGA by Jean Dreze and Rahul R. I learnt so much!
