 If a rural  agricultural laborer works  25 days  a month in MP, his monthly  income  will be around Rs 5,730 per  month,  which may not be  enough  to  cover  household expenses  for  a family of four or five.  People.  

However, a rural  agricultural laborer  in Kerala, which pays the highest  salary  of Rs  764.30  per person among  the  states,  receives  an average of Rs 19,107 for 25 days of work  per  month. In the case of Gujarat, the monthly  salary of an agricultural laborer  would  be  around Rs 6,047.  According to calculations  by rating  agency  Crisil, the  price  of a vegetarian thali was Rs 27.9 and  the price of a  non-vegetarian thali  was  Rs 61.4  in  September this year. This means a family of five will have to  pay  Rs 140 for a  vegetarian  thali  meal,  or Rs 8,400 per month. 

  While  FY  2021-22 was  not good  for the rural  economy, as  the Covid pandemic  hit employment  and income levels,  inflation and  high  interest rates  took a toll on FY  2022-23,  affecting affect  rural demand. 

  Among other  low-paid  states, in Uttar Pradesh, rural  agriculture  workers  received  an average daily wage of Rs 309.3 and  Rs 285.1 in  Odisha in  2021-22.  Farm  workers in Maharashtra, which boasts of being  the  most  industrialized  state,  are paid  Rs  303.50 per day. High  wages in Kerala have attracted  low-paid agricultural labor  from other  states,  with around 25 lakh migrant workers  believed to be  living in the state.

Real rural wage growth virtually  stagnates  in  2022-2023  despite a  slight recovery  in economic activity. Although job demand under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) declined  year-on-year,  it  remained  above  pre-pandemic  levels  in 2022-23,  suggesting  that  recovery, especially in the  unorganized sector  of the  economy, which  is  yet  to be completed,  according to the  RBI’s annual report  for 2022-23. 

 Wage growth for agricultural and non-agricultural  workers remains moderate in 2022-2023,  averaging  5.8%  and  4.9%,  respectively.  However,  the  rate  of wage growth for agricultural and non-agricultural  workers is still increasing,  reaching  yearly highs  of  7.7%  in January 2023 and  5.6%  in November 2022,  respectively.  before  a slight decline  in March 2023,  RBI. the  report said.
