## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

(a): The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), 2005 provides at least one hundred days of guaranteed wage employment in every financial year to every  rural  household  whose  adult  members  volunteer  to  do  unskilled  manual  work.  An additional 50 days of wage employment are provided over and above 100 days in the notified drought  affected  areas  or  natural  calamity  areas  in  the  country  on  recommendation  of  the Ministry  of  Agriculture  and  Farmers  Welfare.  The  Ministry  of  Rural  Development  does  not compile  data  on  distress  migration,  However,  some  research  studies  have  indicated  that MGNREGA has helped in reducing distress migration.

- (b): State/UT-wise details of expenditure  under MGNREGA from FY 2014-15 to FY 201920 (as on 19.07.2019) is given at Annexure-I.
- (c): The release of funds is a continuous process. 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.  Details  of  pending  FTOs  on  unskilled  wage  under MGNREGA during the FY 2019-20 (as on 19.07.2019) are given at Annexure-II.

(d): The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005 (MGNREGA) is a  demand  driven  wage  employment  scheme.  Hence, no  work-wise  allocation  of  funds  is made. As per Management Information System (MIS), State/UT-wise details of expenditure for construction of Anganwadi centres under MGNREGS since 2017-18 is given at Annexure-III.
