Pushpa Jagnandan
Pushpa Jagnandan is an advocate for the rights of self-employed individuals in Guyana, particularly those who are excluded from the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) pension benefits. In a recent letter to the editor, she highlighted the struggles faced by a woman working in Bourda Market, who despite a lifetime of hard work, remains without financial support in her senior years. Jagnandan emphasizes the plight of many like her, who contributed to society through market work but did not qualify for the NIS due to their self-employed status. Her activism aims to raise awareness and push for governmental support for vulnerable workers in Guyana.
