## ANSWER

MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

- (a):      Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS  is  a  demand  driven  wage  employment   scheme.  Every  adult member of a household in a rural area, having job card (as per Mahatma Gandhi NREG Act), is eligible for a demand for a job under the scheme.  There is no provision to register a Job card

holder categorised as migrant labourers/ family in the job card in the scheme.  A job card can be issued to a migrant labour/family as per the provision of the Act against a demand by the migrant labour/family. A total of 86,81,928 new job card during the current FY so far has been issued as compared  to 64,95,823 new  job card issued during the FY  2019-20. State-wise fund released/spent under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (Mahatma Gandhi NREGS) from April 2020 to August, 2020 is at Annexure-I.

(b):       No,  Sir.    So  far  as  enhancement  of  guaranteed  days  of  employment  is  concerned,  the Mahatma Gandhi NREGA envisages for providing 100 days of guaranteed wage employment in a financial year to each household in rural areas whose adult members volunteers to do unskilled manual work. In addition to this, there is a provision for additional 50 days of unskilled wage employment in a financial year in drought/natural calamity notified rural areas. As per Section 3(4) of the Mahatma Gandhi NREG Act, 2005, the State Governments may make provisions for providing additional days beyond the period guaranteed under the Act from their own funds.

(c):       State-wise  release/expenditure  under  wage  for  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS  for  financial years 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21 (from April 2020 to August 2020 is at Annexure-II.

(d):      The details of household provided employment is at Annexure-III(a) and the details of persondays  generated  is  at Annexure-III(b) between  March-August  2020  and  corresponding period in 2019 .

(e):      As per section 6(1) of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005 (Mahatma Gandhi NREGA), the Central Government may, by notification, specify the wage rate for its beneficiaries.  Accordingly, the Ministry of Rural Development notifies Mahatma Gandhi NREGA wage rate  every  year  for  States/UTs.  To  compensate  the  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGA workers against inflation, the Ministry of Rural Development revises the wage rate every year based on change in Consumer Price Index for Agricultural Labour (CPI-AL) . The wage rate is made  applicable  from 1 st April  of  each  Financial  Year.   However,  each  State/UT  can  provide wage over and above the wage-rate notified by the Central Government. The wage rate for the States/UTs for the Financial Year 2020-21, notified on 23 rd March, 2020 is at annexure-IV.

The wage rate under Mahatma Gandhi NREGA is fixed in pursuance of section 6(1) of the Act. This department does not maintain minimum wage rate of different State centrally.

(f):       No Sir.

(g):      The Central Government, with active support of the State Governments, has so far been able to meet the demands of works with adequate funding. During current financial year, as on 10.09.2020,  the  Ministry  has  released  Rs.  60,44,098.23  lakh  till  now  to  the  States  &  UTs  for implementation  of  Scheme.
