## ANSWER

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

- (a) The  salient  features  of  the  Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment  Guarantee Scheme (Mahatma Gandhi NREGS) are detailed at Annexure-I.

Mahatma Gandhi NREGS is a demand driven wage employment scheme. Hence no State/UTwise  allocation  of  funds  is  made.   Fund  release  to  the  States/UTs  including  Maharastra, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Tamilnadu is a continuous process. Central Government is committed to making funds available keeping in view the demand for work. States/UTs-wise details of central funds released and total expenditure, including for the States of Maharastra, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Tamilnadu, during the last three years and the current FY 2020-21 (as on 28.01.2021) under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS is given at Annexure-II .

(b)       As  per  information uploaded by the States/UTs including Tamil Nadu in the State/UTwise number of persons demanded Employment, number of persons registered and number of persons  provided  employment  during  the  last  three  years  and  the  current  FY  2020-21  (as  on 28.01.2021) under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS is given at Annexure-III .

Mahatma Gandhi NREGA proved to be a major support to the returning migrant workers during COVID-19 Pandemic mitigating the adverse of effects thereof. During the financial year, more  than  1.57  crore  new job  cards  have  been  issued.  A  rural  household,  adult  members  of which agree to unskilled manual work, is entitled for hundred days of wage employment. During FY 2020-21 (as on 31.12.2020), more than 292.62 crore person-days have been generated, which is approximately 47% more than the employment generated during the same period in FY 201920. The agreed-to labour budget of 366 crore (as on 31.12.2020) for the current financial year is the highest ever allocation under the programme.

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 28.01.2021, the Ministry has released Rs. 89231.53 crore to the States & UTs for implementation of  Scheme and a total of 314.75  crore Persondays have been  generated  so far against revised approved Labour Budget 336.04 crore Persondays.

(c)      The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (Mahatma Gandhi NREGS), is a demand driven wage employment programme. A rural household, adult members of  which  agree  to  unskilled  manual  work,  is  entitled  for  hundred  days  of  wage  employment. Total number of person worked during the current FY 2020-21 (so far) is 10.28 crore which is 30% more than that of the FY 2019-20. Hence no State/UT-wise allocation of funds is made. Fund  release  to  the  States/UTs  is  a  continuous process.  Central  Government  is  committed  to making funds  available  keeping  in  view  the demand  for  work.  There  was  a  budget  allocation  of Rs.61,500  crore  at  BE  for  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGA  and  Ministry  of  Finance  has  now  allocated  Rs. 1,11,500 crore at RE during 2020-21.

(d)  &  (e)    In  addition  to  the  prescribed  benefits  under  the  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS,  the Ministry has also mandated the provision of additional 50 days of wage employment to every ST household in a forest area, provided that these households have no other private property except for the land rights provided under the Forest Rights Act, 2006. Further, as per Para 5 of Schedule I  of  the  Act  provides  that  'Works  creating  individual  assets  shall  be  prioritized  on  land  or homestead owned by households belonging to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled tribes. The participation of SC/ STs Population under Mahatma Gandhi NREGA during the last three years and current FY 2020-21 (as on 28.01.2021) are as under:

| Indicator                                |   2017-18 |   2018-19 |   2019-20 |   2020-21* |
|------------------------------------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|------------|
| STs person-days %as of total person-days |     17.49 |     17.42 |     18.41 |      17.82 |
| SCs personday %as of total persondays    |     21.56 |     20.77 |     19.97 |      19.84 |

*as on 28.01.2021

It  has  been  decided  to  make  special  budgetary  provision  for  SC&ST  workers'  wage  payment with effect from FY 2021-22.

No specific case of violation of Mahatma Gandhi NREGS Guidelines related to backward classes  people  has  come  to  the  notice.  As  the  responsibility  of  implementation  of  Mahatma Gandhi NREGS is vested with the State Governments/UTs. Whenever any complaint relating to Mahatma Gandhi NREGS is received in the Ministry, the same is forwarded to the concerned State  Governments/UTs  for  taking  appropriate  and  expeditious  action  as  per  the  provision  of Mahatma Gandhi NREGA.
