wage of Re 1 for employment under the government's National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA)

Indian Members of Parliament (MPs) have just had a huge raise in their
salaries. But shockingly, people in Tonk district of Rajasthan are
being paid just one rupee for a whole day's hard labour. And that too
for working under the government's National Rural Employment Guarantee
Act (NREGA). 99 people of Kuruthia Village in Tonk District paid wages
@ Re 11/- per head for 11 days work. The complaint of the villagers
were ignored by the district administration. The Govt.has now ordered
a prob into the matter when the shocking exploitation was brought to light.
