198.33 crore persondays of work have been generated in the first half of this fiscal year. This is a decrease of 25.63 percent when compared to the same period of last year.

13.25 percent of the total households that demanded employment did not get employment under NREGA.

The government shares no data on unemployment benefits claimed or given to workers in the MIS and the data has to be aggregated from panchayat level offices individually.

Out of the total households employed under NREGA, only 6.03 percent of households were employed for 81-99 days whereas only 1.80 percent were employed for 100 or more days.

For the first six months of the year, 14.64 percent of total payments are pending to be paid by the Government of India.

Since the pandemic, concurrent social audits have been conducted in many states. But their standards are not satisfactory, according to NREGA Sangarsh Morcha. Also, no social audits done this year are available in the public domain.
