Clean swipe for MGNREGS attendance app only in 8 States -Sobhana K. Nair

-The Hindu

To ensure transparency, the Union Government had made it mandatory for all State Governments to use the mobile application to record attendance of workers

Five months after the Union Government's order making it mandatory to capture attendance of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) workers through government mobile application-National Mobile Monitoring System (NMMS) at work sites where 20 or more workers are employed, at least three States — Tamil Nadu, Odisha and Assam — are pushing for making this universal, though majority of the States still have concerns about it.

As per the data for September put out by the Union Ministry for Rural Development, there are only eight States, including the above three, which have recorded 90% and above usage of the app. These include Assam (93.42%), Odisha (92%), Tamil Nadu (93%) along with Karnataka (92%), Kerala (91.5%), Tripura (91%), Uttarakhand (91%) and Puducherry (99%). In Puducherry, though the usage of the NMMS app is high, the quantum of worksites in September was just 774.

“We have listened to complaints and made several tweaks to make it easier for the end user. One big change is allowing offline use of the app. The mate can record the attendance even if there is no Internet connectivity and it will get uploaded whenever they reach a place which has the necessary signal strength,” the official said. The official further added that based on the complaints the app and the procedures are constantly evolving.
