(a): Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme  (Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS)  is  a  demand  driven  wage employment scheme. There is no State/UT-wise allocation of funds under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS.

Details of funds released to the State of Andhra Pradesh under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS in the last five financial years from FY 202021 to 2024-25 are given below:

| Financial Years                                                     | 2024-25 2023-24                           | 2022-23 2021-22   | 2020-21   |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|-------------------|-----------|
| Central fund released to the State of Andhra Pradesh (Rs. in crore) | 7,707.217,353.678,008.817,195.8110,306.30 |                   |           |

While wage payments are directly credited by Central Government  to  the  account  of  beneficiaries  through  the  Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) protocol, for material component, funds are released to the State Government, which in turn releases the funds to Districts through SNA SPARSH module.

- (b):      District-wise  details  of  persondays  generated  in  the  State  of Andhra Pradesh under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS during the last five financial years are given at Annexure-I.
- (c):   District-wise details of households demanded work in the State of Andhra Pradesh under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS during the last five financial years are given at Annexure-II.
