Remuneration:

  • GVTs can work as entrepreneurs and can be paid commission on per spectacle sold.
  • GVTs can be recruited on a salary model with a monthly target of numbers of camps to be done, people to be seen and spectacles to be dispenses.

Revenue generation:

  • Since spectacles are sold at a minimal price of 1-2 days of wages of rural poor, it generates revenue but that does not cost-covering.
