MGNREGS Disoriented

Jaleswar (Ajit Kumar Sahu): The Mahatma Gandh National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme has now lost its purpose. It is uncertain, how long men have been working on the scheme, and whether and when they will be paid. The Mahatma Gandh National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme was implemented to provide employment to unskilled workers in rural areas, so that they could get at least 100 days of employment in a financial year.

But in reality, the plan and the purpose of the scheme are far from reality in Baleshwar district, Basta block, Paushkuli panchayat. In the village of Begunia in the panchayat, an earthen road is being constructed from Begunia Chak is incomplete upto Pitamari. An average of 40 women and men work daily, fixed to earn Rs 222 a day.

However, while they have a weekly payment through a bank account, they have been denied payment for four weeks. However, while they earn between Rs 300 and Rs 400 a day by working elsewhere, in the Mahatma Gandh National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, at a rate of Rs 222 per day, do not get payment in time even by working in the scorching heat.

It is to urge the government to take immediate action against the perpetrators of these atrocities, It’s very irresponsible response by Basta BDO, Gyan Ranjan Sahu that this is not just a problem of Basta block, it is a problem of the whole country. He added that, he has not received any complaints. Such remarks by the responsible officials make it clear, how the officials are responsible for the implementation of Mahatma Gandh National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme.
