Eight states learn NREGA implementation from Rajkot

-The Times of India

Twenty-five IAS officers from eight states are attending a two-day peer learning national workshop on Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) which began in Rajkot on Tuesday.

In 2009-10, Rajkot district was awarded by the central government for best implementation of the Act. On Wednesday, participants will visit four sites of MGNREGA in the district to see how it is being implemented in the district.

Minister of state for rural development Mohan Kundaria inaugurated the workshop organized by Mussoorie-based Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration and hosted by the Gujarat government.

The IAS officers are hoping to learn the best practices to effectively implement the scheme which aims at enhancing the livelihood security of people in rural areas by guaranteeing hundred days of wage-employment in a financial year to a rural household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work.

The act provides employment to unskilled workforce at village level itself and helps them to get work at their doorstep. This act ensures them that they need not to migrate in search of employment,aa Kundaria said while opening the workshop.

This is not just a workshop, but it is the best medium to learn about the effective implementation of the Act across the country. Various experiments have been done in different states to make this Act effective at grassroots level,aa Associate professor Makhanlal Gupta of the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration, Musoorie, said.

Rajkot collector Rajendra Kumar made a presentation about the successful implementation of MGNREGA in the workshop.
