The Telangana State government is of the firm opinion that the key and important role played by workers often keeping their lives at stake is important in the SCCL’s continuous victory and success said KCR the Chief Minister of Telangana.
The hard work being put in by workers day and night to extract the coal cannot be calculated and valued in the monetary terms. Our government feels that the sweat that each and every SCCL worker shed in creating the national wealth, often coming out of jaws of death, is no way inferior to the sacrifices of our own army personnel fighting at the borders.
This is precisely the reason, why the Telangana State government had always been taking measures for the SCCL workers’ welfare and protecting them like eyelids.
Under the united AP’s last year rule in 2013-14, each SCCL workers was given a meagre amount of Rs 13,540 as the bonus. In the last five years, the Telangana state government has been increasing the bonus gradually. In 2017-18, each worker was paid Rs 60,369 as part of the 27 per cent profits shared with the workers in the SCCL.
This year, I am happy to announce that we are increasing the percentage of profit share by another one percent to 28 per cent! By increasing the share in profits, each worker will now get Rs 1,00, 899 as bonus; this is Rs 40,530 more than the last year’s bonus. This is a bonus given by the Telangana state government to the SCCL workers and employees as the Dussera festival’s gift.
I hope and wish that the SCCL workers and employees will take this gift as an inspiration and work with more dedication and commitment to enable the SCCL get more successes and profits.
