EDITORIAL POSTAL CRUSADER FEBRUARY-2016
Start up India
(Beginning of Capitalist Regime)
            On16th
 January, i.e. in the beginning of New Year our Hon`ble Prime-Minister 
has launched an ambitious Scheme “Start up India” which was announced by
 him in his speech to the Nation as Prime-Minister  from the Wall of 
Historical Red Fort  , New Delhi on 15th August 2015. The 
concept behind this is to create a congenial atmosphere and ease by 
relaxing all norms, rules and regulations to set up industries by the 
Industrialists so that the economy of the country may grow and more job 
opportunities may be created to the educated unemployed youth of the 
country.
           
 During his speech Prime-Minister stated that in the last 70 years 
Governments of India have done a lot but now enough is enough and the 
all types of business works should be stopped by the Government and it 
should be handed over to the entrepreneurs “Start up India” programme, 
the Prime-Minister has declared that for 3 years there will be no 
restrictions on entrepreneurs who establish Industries in this 
programme. They will be given Income Tax exemption for 3 years. If 
anybody establishes any business under this scheme after selling his 
moveable and immoveable properties. No Capital gain Tax will be levied 
on him. Besides this such Industrialists will also be given exemption 
from Labour Laws and environmental laws. Ten thousand crores rupees fund
 will be allotted for this scheme within 4 years. Government will 
provide more fund for innovation based programme. At 7(Seven) 
institutions research parks will be established.
           
 What does it mean in the context of working class? Earlier also 
Prime-Minister  has declared  that labour Inspector will not go to  
visit  any industry to see the working conditions of labourers as it 
causes exploitation of Industrialists. Capitalists. Now the full 
exemption will be given from labour laws means a free hand to the 
capitalists to exploit labour like anything. The workers will not be 
given conducive atmosphere to work and even minimum wage will also not 
be given to  them. They will adopt hire and fire policy. As the 
amendment has been done in Apprenticeship   Act, so for two years they 
will take work from the workers as apprentice merely giving some 
stipend. Not only this they will take the work beyond 8 hours and no 
social security and Job Security will be given. So this type of 
provisions and open declaration by the Prime-Minister will give free had
 to Capitalists to exploit the workers to maximum extent.
           
 Giving exemption from Income Tax and Capital gain Tax will benefit the 
industrialists to maximize their profit and the burden of such 
exemptions will come on the shoulders of common Tax Payer. To provide 
Rs. Ten thousand crores fund within 4 years to the entrepreneurs is also
 a question mark? From where this money will come? This will also be 
given from the money collected through taxes from the common man. 
Besides this exemption from environmental laws will also worsen the 
position as they will exploit the natural resources like anything.
           
 So all beneficial schemes to the industrialists/capitalists and nothing
 to the working class of India..The workers are still deprived of 
minimum wage. Our Government  is crying that after implementation of 7th CPC 
 Rs.One Lac  crores  burden will come  while in other  side the top 
class industrialists  are given benefit of waiver of NPA of  Banks  
worth  Rs. One lac twenty five thousand crores. Besides this within 5 
years Rs. Twenty five lac crores exemption has been given to the 
corporates in various Taxes.
           
  The range of income tax exemption to the salaried class employees  is 
not being increased, so whatever is gained as DA as compensation to 
neutralize the price rise of market  is snatched by the government in 
the form of Income Tax.
            For seeking modification in 7th CPC the entirety of Central Government Employees is struggling.
           
 We as worker should analyse and understand the policies of Government 
of India who is intensifying the neo-liberal economic reforms in various
 ways like Start up India.
           
 So it is crystal clear that Start up India Programme is beginning of 
Capitalists Regime which is going to give more opportunities to the 
Capitalists to exploit the Working Class in various forms.

Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act 
The Journey of a Decade
The Mandate of the Act and Achievements 
The
 Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) 
completes ten years of implementation on 2nd February 2016. The 
achievements of a decade are a cause of national pride and celebration. 
Since the start of the programme, the expenditure on the programme has 
amounted to Rs. 3,13,844.55 crore and out of this 71% has been spent on 
wage payments to workers.  
Of
 the workers, the percentage of Scheduled Caste workers has consistently
 been about 20% and Scheduled Tribe workers has been about 17%. A total 
of 1,980.01 crore persondays have been generated, out of which the 
percentage worked by women has steadily increased much above the 
statutory minimum of 33%. 
Sustainable
 assets have been created linked to conservation of natural resources 
and overall development of Gram Panchayats. More than 65% of the works 
taken up under the programme are linked to agriculture and allied 
activities.  
Revival of the Programme  
The
 past year, 2015-16, has seen a revival of the programme. The personday 
generation is the highest in the second quarter (45.88 crore) and third 
quarter (46.10 crore) than it has been in the last five years. The 
national personday generation to date at 146 crore is well above what 
this figure was at this time last year.  
44%
 of all wage payments are being made on time. More than 64% of total 
expenditure is on agriculture and allied activities, the highest in 
three years. 57% of all workers are women, well above the statutory 
requirement of 33% and the highest in three years. 23% of all persondays
 are being done by SC workers, and 18% by ST workers, the highest in 
three years.   
This
 revival has been achieved due to a slew of reforms undertaken by the 
Ministry of Rural Development. Most important of these has been the 
timely release of funds to states to provide work on demand. An 
electronic fund management system has been successfully instituted which
 allows for real time and transparent release of funds to implementing 
agencies and beneficiaries. There has been consistent coordination 
between banks and post offices and constant monitoring of pendency of payments has led to a reduction in wage delays.  
The
 Ministry has reacted swiftly to the distress situation of droughts in 
nine states by declaring an additional 50 days of employment in the 
drought affected areas.
Way Forward 
The
 focus for the upcoming years will be on simplification and 
strengthening of procedures for the implementation of the MGNREGA as an 
employment guarantee. A Master Circular is being issued today which 
consolidates all key instructions from the Central Government on the 
implementation of the Act. Beyond this, states are encouraged to 
innovate with flexibility.
The
 convergent planning exercise currently underway in 2569 backward blocks
 in the country will be consolidated in the State Rural Development Plan
 (SRDP) which will be the basis of implementation and monitoring for the
 coming year.
Concurrent
 social audits and community monitoring will be undertaken. There will 
be a renewed focus on sustainable individual assets to benefit the poor 
and vulnerable households with the following targets; 5 Lakh farm ponds 
and 10 Lakh Vermi and NADEP compost pits in the FY 2016-17.  There will 
be a continued focus on construction of Anganwadi Buildings and 
individual household latrines.
The
 Ministry will focus on imparting skills to workers. It will aim to 
train and place 10,000 Barefoot Technicians from worker households and 
through Project LIFE, skill and train workers for wages, for 
self-employment and livelihood upgradation.
