(d)  The  responsibility  of  implementation  of  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGA  is  vested  with  the Government  of  States  /UTs  (including  State  of  Kerala).  The  Ministry  has  a  comprehensive system  of  monitoring  and  review  mechanism  for  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS.  Some  of  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  meetings,  Labour  Budget  Revision  meetings,  programme  review  meetings. Central  Employment  Guarantee  Council  and  State  Employment  Guarantee  Councils periodically monitor implementation of the programme.
- (ii)  National  Level  Monitors,  Common  Review Missions  and  Officers  of  the  Ministry  visit States/UTs  at  regular  intervals  to  review  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. Internal Audit Teams of the Department also conduct regular audit.
- (iv)  All  grievances/  complaints  received  in  the  Ministry  are  forwarded  to  the  concerned States/UTs for taking appropriate action including investigation, as per law.
- (v) Steps have been taken to strengthen transparency and accountability which include geotagging 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.

(e)   As per the information shared by the State of Kerala, the State Government is utilizing the potential of community-based organisations and women self-help groups in the implementation of  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS.    Kudumbashree  is  a  Community  Based  Organisation  (CBO)  of poor families, represented by a woman from the family.  It is built as a three-tier structure viz.; Neighbour Hood Group (NHG) -Area Development Society (ADS) -Community Development Society (CDS) levels.

The  main  role  of  women  self  help  groups  (Kudumbashree)  in  the  field  of  Mahatma  Gandhi NREGS activities are given below:

1. Selection of Mahatma Gandhi NREGS mate at ward level: The Mahatma Gandhi NREGS mate at ward level is selected by the middle level federation namely the ADS (VO level)
2. Mobilization of rural poor women into Mahatma Gandhi NREGS labour force is done by first level federation namely the NHGs (SHG).
