Question

Q13."Dala is a landless farm labourer who works on daily wages in Palampur. The minimum
wages for a farm labourer set by the government is '115 per day, but Dala gets only '80.
There is heavy competition for work among the farm labourers in Palampurso people agree to
work for lower wages." Here Dala is being exploited by the large farmer due to competition
among the labourers. What principle is the large farmer violating? How can this malpractice be
corrected?

Answer 1

Explanation:

(*The principle violated by the "large farmer" in this scenario is the minimum wage for farm work. Due to non-availability of self-land, people like Dala works as a farm laborer in the farm of big farmers for daily wages)

• (Such type of injustice can be corrected by taking proper legal action on big farmers who hire them for low wages and also by increasing employment opportunity for such kind of people by the government.")
