The  State-wise  detail  of expenditure  incurred  out  of  resource  envelop  of  Rs.50,000  crore  under  the  Garib  Kalyan Rojgar Abhiyan is as below:

| S. No.   | State          | Expenditure (Rs. in crore)   |
|----------|----------------|------------------------------|
| 1        | BIHAR          | 10,992                       |
| 2        | JHARKHAND      | 1,396                        |
| 3        | MADHYA PRADESH | 6,819                        |
| 4        | ODISHA         | 2,042                        |
| 5        | RAJASTHAN      | 8,715                        |
| 6        | UTTAR PRADESH  | 9,330                        |
|          | Total          | 39,293                       |

(b) & (c)       Under the Garib Kalyan Rojgar Abhiyaan, 116 districts were selected across 6 States  of  Bihar,  Jharkhand,  Madhya  Pradesh,  Odisha,  Rajasthan  and  Uttar  Pradesh.  The district-wise details of employment provided (in persondays generated) during the GKRA are given at Annexure.

(d)     The  Garib  Kalyan  Rojgar Abhiyaan (GKRA) was launched on 20th June 2020, for a period  of  125  days,  with  resource  envelop  of  Rs.  50,000  Crore  to  boost  employment  and livelihood  opportunities  for  migrant  workers  returning  to  villages  and  similarly  affected citizens in rural area. The Abhiyaan adopted a multipronged strategy of providing immediate employment & livelihood opportunities to the distressed, to saturate the villages with public infrastructure and creation of livelihood assets to boost the income generation activities and enhance long term livelihood opportunities  by  giving  focus  on  25  works  (including  works under  Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment  Guarantee  Scheme)  in  116  selected districts  across  6  States  namely  Bihar,  Jharkhand,  Madhya  Pradesh,  Odisha,  Rajasthan  and Uttar Pradesh. The GKRA ended on 22nd October, 2020 and a total of 50.78 crore persondays  employment  were  generated  with  a  total  expenditure  of  Rs.  39,293  crore  during  the Abhiyaan.

Public  employment  schemes  supplement  employment  opprtunities  available  in  economy. Schemes like Deendayal Antyodaya Yoajna-National Rural Livelihoods Mission encourage creation of new livelihood opportunities while Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee  Scheme  (Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS)  is  a  demand  driven  wage  employment programme which provide for the enhancement of livelihood security of the households in rural  areas  of  the  country  by  providing  at  least  one  hundred  days  of  guaranteed  wage employment in every financial year to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work. The rural unemployment rate has been generally steady over last 3 years, which includes pre-covid year of 2019, which attests to effectiveness of the existing schemes in addressing the issue of migrant workers.
