<br/><br/> In financial year 2022–23, more than 5 crore workers were deleted from the Mahatma Gandhi Na¬tional Rural Employment Guarantee Act database—a 247% increase compared to the previous FY. Using a worker-centric framework, this rise is investigated in context of the complexity of recent Aadhaar-based interventions and the manner of their rollout. Worker deletion and resolution practices on the ground are also analysed. These techno-solutionist policies are not consistent with democratic norms and increase workers’ distress.- Reproduced <br/>https://www.epw.in/journal/2023/38/commentary/aadhaar-mandate-mass-job-card-deletions.html<br/>
