MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI GIRIRAJ SINGH)

- (a) to (c):   A statement is laid on the Table of the House.

## Statement in reply to Parts (a) to (c) of Lok Sabha Starred Question No. 85 for 08.02.2022

(a): State/UT-wise details of fund released under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (Mahatma Gandhi NREGS) during the last five financial year and current financial year 2021-22 (as on 01.02.2022) is given at Annexure.

(b)  &  (c):   Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS  is  a  demand  driven  wage  employment  programme  and funds  are  released  to  the  States/UTs  on  the  basis  of  "agreed  to"  Labour  Budget  (LB)  and performance of the States/UTs during the financial year.

The  funds  release  under  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS  is  based  on  the  provision  of  the Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment  Guarantee  Act  and  guidelines.  As  per  the guidelines,  the  first  installment  of  the  first  tranche  is  released  in  the  first  half  of  April  after adjusting unspent balance available with the States and considering the pending liabilities, if any. If the proposal for Second Tranche is submitted after 30 th September then the Audit Report and Audited Utilization Certificate of the previous financial year are required. Also, States/UTs have to  ensure  the  compliance  of  the  directives  of  Central  Government regarding  procedure  for release of funds under the Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) and monitoring utilization of the funds released.

Fund  release  to  States/UTs  (including  Tamil  Nadu)  is  a  continuous  process  and  Central Government is committed in making funds available keeping in view the demand for work on the ground.

In current financial year 2021-22 (as on 01.02.2022) an amount of Rs. 7,609.95 crore has been released for wage, material & administrative component to the State of Tamil Nadu for the implementation of Mahatma Gandhi NREGS. There is no pending liability for wage component for the State of Tamil Nadu as on 01.02.2022.
