-Second MGNREGA tracker by Peoples' Action for Employment Guarantee (PAEG), released on 17th August, 2020

A MGNREGA tracker has been prepared by the Peoples' Action for Employment Guarantee (PAEG) that brings to you the latest developments, updates, and figures on the implementation of MGNREGA across the country till 3rd August, 2020. Given the significant role that MGNREGA is playing in the lives and livelihoods of rural workers, PAEG intends to keep a close watch on its implementation and flag issues for public discussion at regular intervals.

PAEG will send updated versions of this note on a periodic basis.

The NREGA is a lifeline for millions of rural poor. It guarantees 100 days of employment for each rural household at minimum wages. There are two important legislative provisions. Work should be provided within 15 days of demanding for work failing which the workers are entitled to an unemployment allowance. Workers should be paid within 15 days of completion of work failing which they are entitled to a delay compensation. While NREGA has always been vital, it has assumed renewed significance in light of the unemployment crisis induced by the lockdown. This weekly tracker is an attempt to closely monitor the performance of NREGA by making some key metrics available to everybody in an accessible manner. Some of the metrics would be updated weekly, some monthly, and some quarterly.

Highlights of the Tracker:

* All the data in this tracker is upto 03 August 2020 (except data on pending transactions, which was accessed on 10 August 2020).

* 48 percent of the Total NREGA budget (revised) for 2020-21 has been spent in the first 4 months.

* 43 percent payments transactions for the month of July are pending from the Central Govt.

* Less than 12 percent of NREGA funds left with the States.

* 38 lakh new job cards made since April 2020.

* 4.17 lakh households have completed 100 days of employment.

* 11 percent more persondays of employment generated in the first quarter of FY 2020-21 compared to the projected Labour Budget in this period.

* About 17 percent demand for NREGA is not met.

* More than 12 percent unmet demand for employment in all the districts under Garib Kalyan Rojgar Abhiyan (GKRA).
