Incentive Wages to Tendu leaves pluckers

 Looking to the huge profit margin of 1989 season the State Govt.
decided to distribute Rs. 150 crores as incentive wages to the Tendu
leaves pluckers out of the profit of 1989 season . This amount was
paid in 4 instalment through accounts of pluckers opened in local
branches of Cooperative Banks or credit societies. This payment was
discontinued from 1990 season and was again started from 1995
season . For 1995 to 1997 seasons, nearly 20% of net income was
paid as incentive wages.
As a consequence of 73rd Amendment to the Constitution , the
State Govt. decided to pass on all the net income from the trade of
N.W.F.P. to the societies and the societies , in turn, distributed 50%
of this net income to the Tendu leaves pluckers as incentive wages
from 1998 season . From 2004 season the proportion of incentive
wages has been enhanced to 60% and again enhanced to 70% from
2011 of the net income.
The amount of incentive wages paid in various years is shown in the
