&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;About 20 workers would come to the work site every day, get photographed for attendance carrying basketfuls of soil or digging the earth, and then leave without doing any real work&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;This summer, Gaudsahi village under Kapileswarpur gram panchayat in Odisha&amp;rsquo;s Puri district began renovating the village pond under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;About 20 workers would come to the work site every day, get photographed carrying basketfuls of soil or digging the earth, and then leave without doing any real work. The photo would be uploaded on an app to mark their &amp;ldquo;attendance&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The work would be done with JCB machines by a contractor hired by the gram panchayat. When the wages arrived, the workers would keep about 30 per cent and hand over the rest to the panchayat to pay the contractor, villagers said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Everyone would be happy, including the workers who would rather work for market wages (Rs 350 a day in coastal Odisha for unskilled labour) than the rural job scheme wages (Rs 222 a day), while earning a little &amp;ldquo;extra&amp;rdquo; on the side by scamming the welfare programme.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Also, many workers are uninterested in physical labour in the coastal areas. They make a &amp;lsquo;guest appearance&amp;rsquo; and the work is done by contactors and machines,&amp;rdquo; a villager told The Telegraph.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;However, the scam deprives villagers who cannot easily get work and genuinely need NREGA jobs and wages.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;About 20 workers would come to the work site every day, get photographed for attendance carrying basketfuls of soil or digging the earth, and then leave without doing any real work&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;This summer, Gaudsahi village under Kapileswarpur gram panchayat in Odisha&amp;rsquo;s Puri district began renovating the village pond under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;About 20 workers would come to the work site every day, get photographed carrying basketfuls of soil or digging the earth, and then leave without doing any real work. The photo would be uploaded on an app to mark their &amp;ldquo;attendance&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The work would be done with JCB machines by a contractor hired by the gram panchayat. When the wages arrived, the workers would keep about 30 per cent and hand over the rest to the panchayat to pay the contractor, villagers said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Everyone would be happy, including the workers who would rather work for market wages (Rs 350 a day in coastal Odisha for unskilled labour) than the rural job scheme wages (Rs 222 a day), while earning a little &amp;ldquo;extra&amp;rdquo; on the side by scamming the welfare programme.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Also, many workers are uninterested in physical labour in the coastal areas. They make a &amp;lsquo;guest appearance&amp;rsquo; and the work is done by contactors and machines,&amp;rdquo; a villager told The Telegraph.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;However, the scam deprives villagers who cannot easily get work and genuinely need NREGA jobs and wages.&lt;/p&gt;

Contractor scam in rural job scheme deprives needy -Basant Kumar Mohanty

-The Telegraph About 20 workers would come to the work site every day, get photographed for attendance carrying basketfuls of soil or digging the earth, and then leave without doing any real work New Delhi: This summer, Gaudsahi village under Kapileswarpur gram panchayat in Odisha’s Puri district began renovating the village pond under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act. About 20 workers would come to the work site every day, get photographed carrying basketfuls of soil or digging the earth, and then leave without doing any real work. The photo would be uploaded on an app to mark their “attendance”. The work would be done with JCB machines by a contractor hired by the gram panchayat. When the wages arrived, the workers would keep about 30 per cent and hand over the rest to the panchayat to pay the contractor, villagers said. Everyone would be happy, including the workers who would rather work for market wages (Rs 350 a day in coastal Odisha for unskilled labour) than the rural job scheme wages (Rs 222 a day), while earning a little “extra” on the side by scamming the welfare programme. “Also, many workers are uninterested in physical labour in the coastal areas. They make a ‘guest appearance’ and the work is done by contactors and machines,” a villager told The Telegraph. However, the scam deprives villagers who cannot easily get work and genuinely need NREGA jobs and wages. Please click here to read more.
