Will the Minister of RURAL DEVELOPMENT be pleased to state:

- (a) the  number  of  backward/extremely  backward  families  benefited  under  Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) so far, Statewise; and
- (b) the details of such families particularly in the State of Uttar Pradesh, district-wise?

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

(a)  &  (b): The  Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment  Guarantee  Act  (Mahatma Gandhi NREGA), 2005, provides for at least 100 days of wage employment in a financial year to every rural household including backward/extremely backward families whose adult member volunteers to do unskilled manual work. This is a demand driven scheme. The data relating  exclusively  to  beneficiaries  of  backward/extremely  backward  families  under  the Scheme  are  not  maintained  at  the  level  of  this  Ministry.   However,  as  per  information uploaded  by  the  States/UTs  in  the  Management  Information  System  (MIS),  the  State/UTwise  number  of  Scheduled  Caste  and  Scheduled  Tribe  households  provided  employment under  the  Scheme,  including  Uttar  Pradesh,  is  at Annexure-I. District-wise  number  of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe households provided employment under the Scheme in Uttar Pradesh is at Annexure-II.
