CM Mamata Banerjee also expressed her concern over the curtailment of allotment for the MGNREGA scheme during an administrative review meeting in Calcutta

Bolpur (Birbhum): The Mamata Banerjee government has written to the Centre with a plea to approve 8 crore more mandays under the 100-days’ job scheme for Bengal in the current fiscal after the state achieved its approved labour budget of 27 crore mandays.

“The Centre has so far approved creation of 27 crore mandays for the 2021-22 financial year, which is insufficient for a state like ours. We have written to Delhi with a request to approve additional eight crore mandays to meet the state’s demand of 35 crore mandays. Even though the central government has cut down outlays on MGNREGA for 2022-23 in comparison to what it has spent this year, we would stick to our demand,” said Pulok Roy, the state panchayat minister.

Sources in the panchayat department said the Centre had initially approved a labour budget of 22 crore mandays for Bengal in the ongoing financial year. Because of heavy demand of work under the scheme in the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic, the state achieved the target by October last year.

On request from Nabanna, the Union government approved another 5 crore mandays. But they, too, were exhausted by December last year because of heavy demand of jobs.

As there was demand of jobs, the Bengal government continued the work even after 27 crore mandays were exhausted in anticipation that the Centre would approve more labour budget or mandays for the state.
