Statements

  1. The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 extends its coverage to agricultural workers employed on farms, making the detailed hazard-management provisions equally applicable to the unorganised agricultural sector as to factories.
  2. Under the Code on Social Security, 2020, gig and platform workers are recognised as a distinct category eligible for social security benefits, whereas agricultural workers in the unorganised sector are covered through a separate and distinct welfare fund mechanism.
  3. The Code on Wages, 2019 mandates a statutory floor wage applicable to all workers — including those in agriculture — which must be taken into account by the Central and State governments while fixing minimum wages, thereby providing a wage-floor guarantee to informal agricultural workers.
