Fianally EPF for MGNREGA contractual staffs will start. After DEO/VLEs and STPs become contractual, and getting the benefit of Swasthya Sathi this time some development has been done for the MGNREGA contractual employees. Giving them the benefit of Employees Provident Fund (EPF) will provide them moral boost and encourage them to deliver their level best (though they are giving it already). So, we must say that the introduction of EPF is a very positive move by the Government of West Bengal.
