The Rajasthan Sagri System Abolition (Repeal) Act, 1976

This Act serves a singular, administrative purpose: it formally repeals the Rajasthan Sagri System Abolition Act, 1961, along with its subsequent 1975 amendment. The Sagri system was a historical form of bonded labor prevalent in Rajasthan, where individuals were forced to work to pay off debts. By repealing the 1961 state law, the Rajasthan legislature cleared the path for the implementation of more comprehensive, uniform national legislation—specifically the Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act, 1976. For the ordinary citizen, this Act signifies a transition from state-specific regulations to a unified national framework aimed at eradicating bonded labor practices across India.
