The Odisha Government has hiked the minimum daily wages by increasing variable dearness allowance (VDA) by an average of Rs 12 per day for different categories of workers in the state.
The daily wages of unskilled workers have been revised from Rs 333 to Rs 345, semi-skilled workers from Rs 373 to Rs 385 and skilled from Rs 423 to Rs 445. Similarly, the wage of highly skilled workers has been increased from Rs 483 to Rs 495.
The hiked wage will be effective retrospectively from April 1.
The hike was made after considering the rate of inflation, consumer price index, prevailing market rate and minimum wages in neighbouring states.
