## ANSWER MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT

## (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

(a) to (e) Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS)  is  a  demand  driven  wage  employment  scheme  with  bottom  up approach. The works are approved & prioritized by the Gram Sabha at the Gram Panchayat level in each States/UTs including Rajasthan. Accordingly the action plan (shelf of Work) of the permissible works are prepared & approved by the Gram Sabha under the scheme and can be taken up as per the demand. The planning of works is done as per the estimated person days to be generated for the work in the financial year at the time of assessment of labour budget. There is no target fixed for any specific work from the Ministry/Scheme, but are taken up as per  the  demand  at  the  Gram  Panchayat.  Hence, no  work-wise  allocation  of  funds  is  made. During  current  financial  year  2020-21,  as  on  15.09.2020,  the  Ministry  has  released  Rs. 532300.15 lakh till now to Rajasthan for implementation of Scheme. The major category wise work status in Rajasthan under Mahatma Gandhi NREGA is given at Annexure.
