&lt;p&gt;On a sweltering April afternoon, Hari Oraon, 51, was sitting outside his home in Latehar&amp;rsquo;s Ahirpur village of Mahuadanr block, nearly 200 km northwest of Ranchi. He was worried. Owing to pending wages--he had not been paid for seven days--Hari Oraon had not gone to work for the last two days.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;I do not know why this happened, and I am not sure if I will receive it,&amp;rdquo; said Hari, a father of five whose two sons are also labourers. A member of Jharkhand&amp;rsquo;s Oraon tribe, Hari has worked under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) for the past two years. Although there have been delays, he would usually be informed by site supervisors that it would get resolved. But this time it seems different, he said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Philomena Toppo, an MGNREGS work mate who supervises a worksite in Ahirpur, knew why Oraon was facing problems. Payments were pending for the last 18 days, she told IndiaSpend, because there is no network on her phone to upload the attendance of workers on the National Mobile Monitoring System (NMMS) app that the Union government made mandatory from January 1.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;When I talked to the Panchayat [elected village government] representatives,&amp;rdquo; Toppo said, &amp;ldquo;they said that they didn&amp;rsquo;t know, but higher officials would, whether the payment will be provided after recording the attendance through the new app system.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to the Union government, the NMMS attendance application was made mandatory to increase &amp;ldquo;citizen oversight of the programme and ease of governance&amp;rdquo;. But the intervention has raised several concerns for MGNREGS workers, many of whom went on a 100-day protest in Delhi demanding the scrapping of the app.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Workers who were protesting in Delhi and others in Latehar told IndiaSpend that they were facing problems receiving wages, because the NMMS was not working well in remote areas without a phone network, in addition to the existing problem of chronic wage delays. Meanwhile, worksite supervisors, or mates, are having to invest in a smartphone to accommodate the government&amp;rsquo;s orders to upload pictures to prove attendance.&lt;/p&gt;

$disp = &#039;&lt;p&gt;IndiaSpend&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On a sweltering April afternoon, Hari Oraon, 51, was sitting outside his home in Latehar&amp;rsquo;s Ahirpur village of Mahuadanr block, nearly 200 km northwest of Ranchi. He was worried. Owing to pending wages--he had not been paid for seven days--Hari Oraon had not gone to work for the last two days.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;I do not know why this happened, and I am not sure if I will receive it,&amp;rdquo; said Hari, a father of five whose two sons are also labourers. A member of Jharkhand&amp;rsquo;s Oraon tribe, Hari has worked under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) for the past two years. Although there have been delays, he would usually be informed by site supervisors that it would get resolved. But this time it seems different, he said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Philomena Toppo, an MGNREGS work mate who supervises a worksite in Ahirpur, knew why Oraon was facing problems. Payments were pending for the last 18 days, she told IndiaSpend, because there is no network on her phone to upload the attendance of workers on the National Mobile Monitoring System (NMMS) app that the Union government made mandatory from January 1.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;When I talked to the Panchayat [elected village government] representatives,&amp;rdquo; Toppo said, &amp;ldquo;they said that they didn&amp;rsquo;t know, but higher officials would, whether the payment will be provided after recording the attendance through the new app system.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to the Union government, the NMMS attendance application was made mandatory to increase &amp;ldquo;citizen oversight of the programme and ease of governance&amp;rdquo;. But the intervention has raised several concerns for MGNREGS workers, many of whom went on a 100-day protest in Delhi demanding the scrapping of the app.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Workers who were protesting in Delhi and others in Latehar told IndiaSpend that they were facing problems receiving wages, because the NMMS was not working well in remote areas without a phone network, in addition to the existing problem of chronic wage delays. Meanwhile, worksite supervisors, or mates, are having to invest in a smartphone to accommodate the government&amp;rsquo;s orders to upload pictures to prove attendance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To read more please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.indiaspend.com/governance/flawed-mgnregs-attendance-app-impacts-workers-pay-in-worlds-largest-rural-jobs-programme-861930&quot; title=&quot;https://www.indiaspend.com/governance/flawed-mgnregs-attendance-app-impacts-workers-pay-in-worlds-largest-rural-jobs-programme-861930&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

Flawed MGNREGS Attendance App Impacts Workers’ Pay In World’s Largest Rural Jobs Programme - Shreehari Paliath, Anand Dutta

IndiaSpend On a sweltering April afternoon, Hari Oraon, 51, was sitting outside his home in Latehar’s Ahirpur village of Mahuadanr block, nearly 200 km northwest of Ranchi. He was worried. Owing to pending wages--he had not been paid for seven days--Hari Oraon had not gone to work for the last two days. “I do not know why this happened, and I am not sure if I will receive it,” said Hari, a father of five whose two sons are also labourers. A member of Jharkhand’s Oraon tribe, Hari has worked under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) for the past two years. Although there have been delays, he would usually be informed by site supervisors that it would get resolved. But this time it seems different, he said. Philomena Toppo, an MGNREGS work mate who supervises a worksite in Ahirpur, knew why Oraon was facing problems. Payments were pending for the last 18 days, she told IndiaSpend, because there is no network on her phone to upload the attendance of workers on the National Mobile Monitoring System (NMMS) app that the Union government made mandatory from January 1. “When I talked to the Panchayat [elected village government] representatives,” Toppo said, “they said that they didn’t know, but higher officials would, whether the payment will be provided after recording the attendance through the new app system.” According to the Union government, the NMMS attendance application was made mandatory to increase “citizen oversight of the programme and ease of governance”. But the intervention has raised several concerns for MGNREGS workers, many of whom went on a 100-day protest in Delhi demanding the scrapping of the app. Workers who were protesting in Delhi and others in Latehar told IndiaSpend that they were facing problems receiving wages, because the NMMS was not working well in remote areas without a phone network, in addition to the existing problem of chronic wage delays. Meanwhile, worksite supervisors, or mates, are having to invest in a smartphone to accommodate the government’s orders to upload pictures to prove attendance. To read more please click here
