Rajasthan’s Governor Kalraj Mishra may sign the Rajasthan Minimum Guaranteed Income Bill, 2023, and the Rajasthan Platform Based Gig Workers (Registration and Welfare) Bill in a couple of days, which received approval from the state assembly in July. Social activist Aruna Roy and a delegation of four met with Mishra to plead for their signature.
The gig workers’ bill aims to create a fund for registered platform-based gig workers and impose a welfare fee on businesses, while the minimum guaranteed income bill aims to offer entitlement-based social security to support people or households in an assured wage or social security pension.
