Midday meal cooks' pay stuck at 2009 level in 10 states/UTs
Tuesday, 3 December 2024
Midday meal cooks-cum-helpers have been earning Rs 1,000 per month since 2009 despite inflation. Their honorarium is not considered a minimum wage, allowing the government to avoid regular increases. Calls for improved wages, regularisation, and better working conditions have intensified as they face financial struggles, with some states paying far less than others.
