Keywords:
dalit women, discrimination, employment, generation, inflationAbstract
The study found that Dalit women are facing discrimination in the payment of wages. They are not equally paid to both men and women. Hence, it is suggested that the government should take necessary steps to equal wages to both men and women. The study found that income generation under the MGNREGS was meager. This is due to the low wage rate. Hence, it is suggested that the wage rate should be a hike from Rs.121 to Rs.200 per day as the inflation rate has gone up. Also suggested to link this with market wage rate and make changes accordingly. It is found that most of the Dalit women faced problems in getting employment under the MGNREGS. There are problems at the time of applying for job cards, at the time of issuing job cards, problems in informing about employment, problems in the payment of wages, political involvement, etc. Hence, it is suggested that online facility should be arranged to apply an issue of job cards.
