## ANSWER MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT

## (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

- (a): Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment  Guarantee  Scheme  (MGNREGS)  is  a demand  driven  wage  employment  programme. Hence,  no  State/UT-wise  allocation  of  fund  is made. Fund release to States/UTs is a continuous process and Central Government is committed to  making  funds  available  keeping  in  view  the  demand  for  work.  States/UT-wise  details  of central fund released, including Tamil Nadu, under the MGNREGS during the current financial year 2019-20 (as on 17.07.2019) are given at Annexure-I .
- (b): Details  of  district-wise  households  provided  employment  and  persondays  generated under MGNREGS in the State of Tamil Nadu during the current financial year 2019-20 (as on 17.07.2019) is given at Annexure-II.
- (c): MGNREGS is a demand driven wage employment programme. The release of funds is a continuous process. The agreed to labour budget of Tamil Nadu for FY 2019-20 is     22 crore persondays.  The  Ministry  releases  funds  periodically  in  two  tranches  with  each  tranche consisting of one or more instalments based on agreed to Labour Budget (LB), opening balance, pace  of  utilization  of  funds,  pending  liabilities  of  the  previous  year,  if  any  and  overall performance.
