State Government Initiatives: 2014-15
The present norm for the honorarium for cook cum helpers is too low. The Government of Gujarat made provision of Rs. 45.32 crore in 2014-15 as matching contribution for Rs. 500 rise in the honorarium for each Cook cum Helpers. However the said benefit could not be given due to non approval of increase in honorarium by Government of India.
