Mgnrega states

This means that payments for MGNREGA workers as well as material costs will be delayed, unless States dip into their own funds. Activists say the Centre is condemning workers to “forced labour” by delaying wage payments at a time of economic distress. However, the Centre is now accusing many States of “artificially creating demand” for work on the ground. Finance Ministry advised caste-wise split in MGNREGA wage payments The MGNREGA is a demand driven scheme, guaranteeing 100 days of unskilled work to any rural household that wants it. During last year’s COVID-19 lockdown, the scheme was ultimately given its highest budget of ₹1.11 lakh crore and provided a critical lifeline for a record 11 crore workers. However, the scheme’s 2021-22 budget was set at just ₹73,000 crore, with the Centre arguing that the nationwide lockdown was over and that supplementary budgetary allocations would be available if money ran out. As on October 29, the total expenditure including payments due had already reached ₹79,810 crore, pushing the scheme into the red. Already, 21 States show a negative net balance, with Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal faring the worst. “We are facing a situation of MGNREGA closing down halfway through the year. Who is going to absorb the cost? The poorest and most vulnerable communities who have already been crushed by the pandemic’s impact,” said Nikhil Dey, a founder of the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan. He cited a 2016 judgement of the Supreme Court, ...

At least 19 states have overshot the expenditure on the rural employment guarantee scheme for the current year even with more than a month left for the fiscal year to end, reflecting the slow recovery in the labour market and the continued stress on the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act ( Data from the rural development ministry website shows states such as Jharkhand, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal have utilised 128%, 110%, 100% and 109% of the funds, respectively, for the year till February 21. Consequently, the overall expenditure on the scheme has shot up to 102.39% or Rs 95,664.72 crore out of the Rs 93,428.51 crore available. This is despite the fact that the number of households that have completed 100 days of work is the lowest in the current fiscal since 2018-19. So far, 3.73 million households have completed 100 days of work, much lower than 7.19 million households in 2020-21, 4.06 million in 2019-20 and 5.25 million in 2018-19. Since Mgnrega is a demand-driven scheme, states are likely to continue to provide work under the scheme even if it leads to a fund deficit, which will be met by next year's allocation. Mgnrega is a 100% centrally-sponsored scheme. The Centre had in the revised estimates enhanced the allocation for Mgnrega from Rs 73,000 crore to Rs 98,000 crore for 2021-22. Mgnrega guarantees 100 days of paid employment to rural households every year. • Watch: CM Stalin visits Senthil Balaji in hospital • Cyclone Biparjoy: Red ...

HC seeks answers from Centre, State on failure to pay MGNREGA wages in West Bengal In March 2022, the Centre informed WB that no further funds would be released till it complied with Central directives regarding inquiry reports; “Separate chaff from grain,” HC tells Centre June 07, 2023 04:30 am | Updated 04:30 am IST - KOLKATA The Calcutta High Court on June 6 asked the Union Government and the West Bengal Government to submit reports on the non-payment of wages to workers enrolled in the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) scheme in the State. Noting that the 2005 Act was aimed at enhancing livelihoods in rural areas, a Division Bench of Chief Justice T.S. Sivagnanam and Justice Hiranmay Bhattacharyya observed that the “object of the scheme has to be fulfilled by concerned authorities”. The court said that if, in the opinion of the Central Government, there has been misappropriation of funds, then the endeavour of the authorities should be to “separate the chaff from the grain”. No MGNREGS funds for West Bengal for 2023-24 too HC questions both During the hearing, the Centre’s counsel said that the Centre had informed the State Government, via a letter dated March 9, 2022, that the release of all further funds would be stopped until the State Government ensured compliance with Central directives regarding inquiry reports.
