Dr Anoop Satpathy Committee

Why is it in News?

Expert committee headed by Dr. Anoop Satpathy has submitted its report on the methodology adopted for determining the National Minimum Wage for the Country

Need of fixing the Minimum National Wage:

At present India has no National Minimum Wage and the economists are of the view that India does not have the problem of jobs but has a wage problem (i.e.- people do get jobs, but are not paid as per their skills).

Recommendations of Committee:

The committee has recommended different minimum wages for different regions of the country seeing the local socio-economic factors.
It has recommended the minimum wages keeping in mind the need of 2400 calories along with 50 grams of proteins and 30 grams of fat requirement.
It has recommended that minimum wages must be adjusted with the CPI (Consumer Price Index) every 6 months.
The committee has recommended Rs 375/day as minimum wage.
