In charts: As MGNREGS funds fall short, unpaid wages are piling up -Nushaiba Iqbal

-Scroll.in/ IndiaSpend.com

Across India, more than Rs 2,850 crore in wages are pending approval from the Centre for work done between April and September.

India’s flagship Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme provided more days of work in 2020-’21 than in any year since the programme began in 2008. But states are falling short of funds to pay workers.

In three charts, we take a quick look at the current status of the programme:

In 2020-’21, the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic, when disease and related lockdowns decimated businesses and the economy, the programme provided 47% more person-days of work, as compared to 2019-’20.

About 230 crore person-days of work were generated up to November 10, which is 86% of the employment provided by the scheme in the financial year 2019-’20.
