Description
Vasanthi, 32, is a domestic help in Bangalore, a city she made her home eight years ago after getting married and moving from Virajpet in Madikeri, 250 km away. The first stop she makes is just one of the four houses she works in daily to make Rs 3,000-4,000 on an average a month. As the case of Devyani Khobragade and her domestic help roils relations between India and the US, Vasanthi works in a state that became India’s first to implement provisions of the Unorganised Workers’ Social Security Act, passed by the Centre. Since 2009, six lakh domestic workers like Vasanthi are technically covered by the provisions of the Karnataka State Unorganised Workers’ Social Security Board.
