(d)&(e):    Mahatma Gandhi NREGS is a demand driven wage employment scheme. Under Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS,  States/UTs  furnish  funds  release  proposals  to  Government  of India. The Ministry releases funds periodically in two tranches with each tranche consisting of  one  or  more  installments,  keeping  in  view  the  'agreed  to'  Labour  Budget,  demand  for works, opening balance, pace of utilization of funds, pending liabilities, overall performance and subject to submission of relevant documents by the States/UTs.

Fund release to the States/UTs is a continuous process and Central Government is committed in  making  funds  available  to  States/UTs  for  the  implementation  of  the  Scheme  as  per  the demand for work on the ground.

(f):   Government  of  India  has  taken  various  steps  for  strengthening  of  Mahatma  Gandhi NREGS. The important elements of the above framework are listed below:

- i. The Ministry regularly reviews the performance of the implementation of Mahatma Gandhi NREGS in States/UTs through various fora viz., Mid-Term Review, Labour Budget  Determination  and  Labour  Budget  Revision  meetings,  and  Programme Review  meetings.  Central  Employment  Guarantee  Council  and  State  Employment Guarantee Councils also periodically monitor implementation of the Scheme.
- ii. National  Level  Monitors,  Common  Review  Missions  and  Officers  of  the  Ministry visit States/UTs at regular intervals to review the implementation of the programme. After the field visits, the findings/shortcomings and recommendations are shared with the States/UTs for appropriate action at their end.
- iii. Auditing  Standards  for  Social  Audit  have  been  issued  and  States/UTs  have  been advised  to  establish  independent  Social  Audit  Units,  conduct  Social  Audit  as  per Audit of Scheme Rules, 2011 and training of village resource persons for conducting Social Audit etc. As per the Audit of the Scheme Rules, the audit of the works in a Gram Panchayat has been made mandatory.  Internal Audit Teams of the Department also conduct regular audits.
- iv. Steps  have  been  taken  to  strengthen  transparency  and  accountability  which  include geo-tagging  of  assets,  Direct  Benefit  Transfer  (DBT),  National  electronic  Fund Management System (NeFMS), Aadhar Based Payment System (ABPS), Software for Estimate Calculation using rural rates for Employment (SECURE) and appointment of Ombudsperson in every district of States/UTs.
- v. Steps have been taken for establishment of State Technical Cell at various level for qualitative monitoring and supervision of works under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS.
- vi. In  order  to  ensure  higher  level  of  monitoring  and  oversight,  National  Mobile Monitoring  System  and  Area  Officer  App  have  been  introduced.  In  the  former, attendance of workers on all work sites (except individual beneficiary works) is taken daily  along  with  a  geo-tagged  &  time  stamped  photograph  of  theirs.  The  latter  has been  designed  to  ensure  that  field  officials  conduct  inspections  in  the  requisite numbers and look into all the relevant aspects of the scheme.
- vii. Transparency and accountability measures like an Ombudsperson for each district, an independent  Director  for  the  Social  Audit  Unit,  and  timely  compliance  of  Internal Audit Paras are some of the conditions for the funds release.
- viii. NMMS  Whatsapp  groups have been created at every Gram Panchayat for dissemination of real time attendance to Public Representative for vigilant monitoring.
