## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SADHVI NIRANJAN JYOTI)

- (a)  State/UT-wise  number  of  persons  who  have  been  offered  employment  under  Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (Mahatma Gandhi NREGS) during the  last  five  financial  years  2016-17,  2017-18,  2018-19,  2019-20  and  2020-21  is  given  at Annexure-I.
- (b)   Details of State/UT-wise and National level average days of employment provided per households under the Mahatma Gandhi NREGS  in the months of April, May, June, July and August in the financial year 2021-22 is given at Annexure-II.
- (c)   State/UT-wise  details  of average wage rate per day per person under  the  Mahatma Gandhi NREGS during the last five financial years 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21 is given at Annexure-III. It may be mentioned that payment of wage is linked to the accomplishment of tasks as per SOR.

(d)   No, Sir. As per Section 6 (1) of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (Mahatma Gandhi NREGA), 2005, the Central Government may by notification specify the  wage  rate  for  unskilled  work  for  its  beneficiaries.  Accordingly,  the  Ministry  of  Rural Development  notifies  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGA  wage  rate  for  every  financial  year  for States/UTs.  To  compensate  the  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGA  workers  against  inflation,  the Ministry of Rural Development revises the wage rate every financial year based on change in Consumer Price Index for Agricultural Labour (CPI-AL).  If the calculated wage rate of any State/UT is coming lower than the wage rate of previous financial year, it is being protected by maintaining the previous financial year wage rate. The wage rate is made applicable from 1st  April  of  each  financial  year.  However,  State  Governments  can  provide  wage  over  and above the wage rate notified by the Central Government under the Mahatma Gandhi NREGS. (e)&(f) State/UT-wise number  of households, who  have been paid   Unemployment Allowance under the Mahatma Gandhi NREGS during the last five financial years 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21 is given at Annexure-IV. (g)     State/UT-wise  number  of  new  job  cards  issued  under  the  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS during the last five financial years 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21 is given at Annexure-V. State/UT-wise number of job cards deleted under the Mahatma Gandhi NREGS during the last  five  financial  years  2016-17,  2017-18,  2018-19,  2019-20  and  2020-21  is  given  at Annexure-VI.

(h)     Mahatma  Gandhi  NREG  Act  is  to  provide  at  least  100  days  of  guaranteed  wage employment in a financial year to each household in rural areas of the country whose adult members volunteers to do unskilled manual work. In addition to this, there is a provision for up to 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 provision for providing additional days beyond the period guaranteed under the Act from their own funds.
