## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI KAMLESH PASWAN)

- (a): Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme  (Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS)  is  a  demand  driven  wage employment  Scheme.  State/Union  Territory  (UT)-wise  persondays generated  under  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS  during  the  last  three financial years is given at Annexure-I.
- (b): State/Union  Territory  (UT)-wise  total  number  of  workers  who availed employment and the number of women  who  availed employment  under  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS  during  the  last  three financial years is given at Annexure-II.

State/Union  Territory  (UT)-wise  details  of  age-wise  workers who availed employment under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS during the last three financial years is given at Annexure-III.

(c): The details of households demanded employment and households  offered  employment under  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS during the last three financial years is given below:

| Financial Year   |   Households demanded employment (in crore) |   Employment offered households crore) |   to (in Percentage of household offered employment (%) |
|------------------|---------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| 2021-22          |                                        8.05 |                                   8.02 |                                                   99.55 |
| 2022-23          |                                        6.9  |                                   6.89 |                                                   99.84 |
| 2023-24          |                                        6.52 |                                   6.51 |                                                   99.85 |

(As per NREGASoft)

While the work demanded closely matches the work offered, the difference of work availed with the former is on account of lack of utilisation of such offering by workers. This could be on account of better employment opportunities elsewhere, illness or any other relevant factor.

(d): No  such  proposal  is  under  consideration  in  the  Ministry  of Rural  Development.  The  Government  is  focusing  on  strengthening MGNREGS through budgetary allocation of ₹86,000 crore for 202425, which is the highest ever allocation at the Budget Estimate (BE) stage since inception of the scheme.
