Festive bonanza: Kerala to give ₹1,000 as Onam allowance to MGNREGS, AUEGS workers

Hindustan Times  

The Kerala government on Friday announced that it will pay an Onam allowance of ₹1,000 to those who have completed 100 days of work under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme and the state scheme of Ayyankali Urban Employment Guarantee Scheme. “It has been decided that those who have done 100 days of work under MGNREGS and AUEGS will get a festival allowance of ₹1,000. Around 4.6 lakh workers in the state will get this benefit,” state finance minister KN Balagopal told reporters in Thiruvananthapuram today. AUEGS, a scheme run by the Directorate of Urban Affairs, was launched in 2010 on the lines of MGNREGS to provide at least 100 days of unskilled manual work a year to members of urban households at minimum wages.
