Mr Justice C.N. Ramachandran Nair, Judge, Kerala High Court, has said that acute shortage of labour in the farm sector is a matter of concern.
Inaugurating a workshop on National Rural Employment Guarantee Act -2005 at Udayamperoor, near here, he suggested that the National Rural Employment Guarantee Project (NREGP) should be moulded in such a way that the status of the beneficiaries as well as that of the society improves.
The Judge also criticised the “ nokku kooli ” (wages for just watching things being loaded or unloaded) charged by a section of labourers.
The workshop, organised jointly by the Ernakulam District Legal Service Authority and the Union Bank of India (Lead Bank for Ernakulam), was presided over by Mr B. Kemal Pasha (District Judge, Chairman DLSA, Ernakulam),
Mr Mayank Mehta (Deputy General Manager, Union Bank of India), Adv Reez Puthenveetil (President, Mulnthuruthy Block Panchayat), Mr George Merlopallath (President, Bar Association, Ernakulam), Ms Ajitha Salam (President, Udayamperoor Gram Panchayat), Mr V. G. Raveendran (Vice-President, Udayamperoor Gram Panchayat) and Mr K. Sathyan (Principal Sub-judge and Secretary, DLSA, Ernakulam) spoke on the occasion.
