All India Agricultural Workers' Union (AIAWU) is the union of agricultural and rural workers in India. They are invovlved in organising agricultural labourers to build a movement aimed toward getting fair wages and social security networks for them.[1] The AIAWU considers agricultural workers were the most exploited section not only economically but socially also.[2]
The 10th All India Conference of AIAWU re-elected A. Vijayaraghavan as the President and B. Venkat as the General Secretary of the organisation.[3]
Suneet Chopra, a famous art critic and a TV speaker, was also part of this union. He passed away in 2023.[4] A report by the Indian Express said, "His demise is a big loss, not only to the communist movement but the entire democratic and progressive movement in India."[4]
Activites
editIn December 2025, AIAWU announced a series of protests against the implementation of the new labour codes. In a statement, they called these codes, "..a direct attack on India's working people and a blatant disregard for democratic processes."[5]
They have also been demanding for better implementation of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). Members of the union of the Kalaburagi district of Karnataka staged massive protest utside the office of the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister and district in-charge Priyank Kharge demanding effective implementation of the MGNREGA.[6]
After the repeal of MGNREGA 2005 by the new Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Act, 2025 (VB-G RAM G 2025), in December 2025, AIAWU has give a call to all its units at village levels to mobilize and reject the new act in all Gram Sabhas across the country.[7]
In the year 2025, a notification[8] was released by Ministry of Rural Development regarding revision of wages for MGNREGA workers, AIAWU condemned it as an 'insufficient' wage revision.[9] In their statement they said, "The Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD) has issued a notification revising wage rates, but the increase remains marginal, ranging from 2% to 7% on average."[9]
On 20 April 2025, All India Kisan Sabha, Centre of Indian Trade Unions, and AIAWU together called for large rally under the banner of Mazdoor Kisan Rally to raise the issues of peasants and workers.[10]
