As per a report authored by People's Action for Employment Guarantee (PAEG), 90& of the total allocated funds to the MGNREGA scheme had been utilised, even as five more months are left for the current financial year to end.

On Friday, the "NREGA National Tracker" report, authored by People's Action for Employment Guarantee (PAEG), was released for the April-September period of this year in a virtual press conference jointly held with Liberation Technology (LibTech) India. The latter released a report on the delay in wage payments under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) scheme.

The PAEG's report highlighted that almost 90% of the total allocated funds to the MGNREGA scheme for this year had been utilised, even as five more months are left for the current financial year to end.

This will have a considerable impact on employment generation under the scheme, noted PAEG in its report, as remaining funds can cover at most only 13 days of work – as opposed to the stipulated 100 – per household till the end of March next year.

The PAEG's tracker, based on the MGNREGA Management Information System (MIS), noted that 17 crore job cards have been registered to date under the rural job scheme, out of which 9.71 crore are 'active job cards.'

According to the tracker, 6.68 crore active job cardholders – 40% of the total registered cards – have demanded work under the scheme this year. Out of these, 13.25% of the total households that demanded employment did not get employment under the scheme this year.
