## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SADHVI NIRANJAN JYOTI)

- (a):     State/UT-wise details of average days of employment provided per households under the  Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment  Guarantee  Scheme  (Mahatma  Gandhi NREGS) in financial years 2020-21 and 2021-22 (as on 30.03.2022) is given at Annexure-I.
- (b):   Mahatma Gandhi NREGS is a demand driven wage employment programme. There is no State/UT-wise financial allocation under the Scheme. Under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS, States/UTs  submit  funds  release  proposals  to  Government  of  India.  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.  The  Ministry  release  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 State/UT.

There  was  a  budget  allocation  of  Rs.  73,000  crore  at  Budget  Estimate  (BE)  stage under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS, which is enhanced to Rs. 98,000 crore at Revised Estimate (RE) stage with an increase of Rs. 25,000 crore during the current financial year 2021-22.

State/UT-wise  details  of  fund  released  under  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS  in  current financial 2021-22 as on 28.02.2022 are given at Annexure-II.
