Why are workers protesting recent changes to NREGS? IFF went to the 100 day dharna at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi organised by NREGA Sangharsh Morcha.

The protest has raised questions about the push towards platformisation and digitalisation in the absence of tele-connectivity. We spoke to workers about challenges with the NMMS app & the Aadhaar Based Payment System which have often resulted in rightful wages being withheld.
