Right to Work Campaign – Ek Vote Ek Rozgar

Introduction

Praaveen Kumar Singh has been a consistent advocate for recognizing employment as a constitutional right. Through the “Ek Vote Ek Rozgar” campaign, he linked electoral accountability with job guarantees — urging political systems to prioritize livelihood, minimum wages, and economic dignity for the informal and marginalized workforce.

Background & Reason

Millions of Indian workers remain excluded from stable employment, living without basic income security or protection. Praaveen launched this campaign to ensure that employment is treated not as a policy option — but as a democratic promise. His vision connects job creation directly to electoral justice.

Used protest rallies, public outreach, and media platforms to amplify the campaign’s message.
