Among others, the Association is demanding a hike in salary and policy for regularization as “we have given our prime of life to make the MGNREGA and other schemes a success.”

The Association says that the government formed two committees to look into the demands but has failed to fulfill promises made from time to time. “Government agreed to our demands in principle and formed two committees.
