&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;A combination of fund squeeze and political aversion has deprived lakhs of people from getting MGNREGS work, even though wages are very low.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As the job crisis rages unabated across the country, demand for work under the rural jobs guarantee programme (MGNREGS &amp;ndash; Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) has risen dramatically in the past few years. In Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, the two big states where polling for Assembly seats is to be held soon, this is casting a dark shadow on the prospects of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), because in both, work being actually given under the scheme is far short of demand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In MP, last year about 76.5 lakh persons demanded work as per official records but only 61 lakh were actually provided work. In other words, some 15.5 lakh persons &amp;ndash; about one in five &amp;ndash; were turned back, and asked to fend for themselves. Note also, how demand has steadily risen since 2015-16. Yet, the number of those turned back has increased even faster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Rajasthan, the same situation exists. Last year, nearly 77 lakh persons demanded work but just 65 lakh were actually provided. About 11.5 lakh or 15 per cent people were refused work. Demand for work has steadily risen in Rajasthan too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;The Poorest are suffering the worst&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: those seeking work in the programme are the poorest, most desperate people in the vast rural areas of both states, mostly hailing from agricultural labourer or marginal farmer families. They have no financial cushion, no social security, no savings or resources. That is why they seek work in the government-sponsored manual labour programme, as a last resort.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both MP and Rajasthan governments, which have been boasting about their ease of doing business and investment opportunities for big business, and have set records in market borrowings, become perversely tight-fisted when it comes to spending on such key welfare programmes as the MGNREGS. Chilling evidence for this can be seen from the chart below which shows average wages provided for MGNREGS work.&lt;br /&gt;

In Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, the two big states where polling for Assembly seats is to be held soon, this is casting a dark shadow on the prospects of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), because in both, work being actually given under the scheme is far short of demand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In MP, last year about 76.5 lakh persons demanded work as per official records but only 61 lakh were actually provided work. In other words, some 15.5 lakh persons &amp;ndash; about one in five &amp;ndash; were turned back, and asked to fend for themselves. Note also, how demand has steadily risen since 2015-16. Yet, the number of those turned back has increased even faster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Rajasthan, the same situation exists. Last year, nearly 77 lakh persons demanded work but just 65 lakh were actually provided. About 11.5 lakh or 15 per cent people were refused work. Demand for work has steadily risen in Rajasthan too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Poorest are suffering the worst&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember: those seeking work in the programme are the poorest, most desperate people in the vast rural areas of both states, mostly hailing from agricultural labourer or marginal farmer families. They have no financial cushion, no social security, no savings or resources. That is why they seek work in the government-sponsored manual labour programme, as a last resort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both MP and Rajasthan governments, which have been boasting about their ease of doing business and investment opportunities for big business, and have set records in market borrowings, become perversely tight-fisted when it comes to spending on such key welfare programmes as the MGNREGS.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;A combination of fund squeeze and political aversion has deprived lakhs of people from getting MGNREGS work, even though wages are very low.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As the job crisis rages unabated across the country, demand for work under the rural jobs guarantee programme (MGNREGS &amp;ndash; Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) has risen dramatically in the past few years. In Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, the two big states where polling for Assembly seats is to be held soon, this is casting a dark shadow on the prospects of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), because in both, work being actually given under the scheme is far short of demand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In MP, last year about 76.5 lakh persons demanded work as per official records but only 61 lakh were actually provided work. In other words, some 15.5 lakh persons &amp;ndash; about one in five &amp;ndash; were turned back, and asked to fend for themselves. Note also, how demand has steadily risen since 2015-16. Yet, the number of those turned back has increased even faster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Rajasthan, the same situation exists. Last year, nearly 77 lakh persons demanded work but just 65 lakh were actually provided. About 11.5 lakh or 15 per cent people were refused work. Demand for work has steadily risen in Rajasthan too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;The Poorest are suffering the worst&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: those seeking work in the programme are the poorest, most desperate people in the vast rural areas of both states, mostly hailing from agricultural labourer or marginal farmer families. They have no financial cushion, no social security, no savings or resources. That is why they seek work in the government-sponsored manual labour programme, as a last resort.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both MP and Rajasthan governments, which have been boasting about their ease of doing business and investment opportunities for big business, and have set records in market borrowings, become perversely tight-fisted when it comes to spending on such key welfare programmes as the MGNREGS. Chilling evidence for this can be seen from the chart below which shows average wages provided for MGNREGS work.&lt;br /&gt;

<em>A combination of fund squeeze and political aversion has deprived lakhs of people from getting MGNREGS work, even though wages are very low.<br />
</em><br />
As the job crisis rages unabated across the country, demand for work under the rural jobs guarantee programme (MGNREGS &ndash; Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) has risen dramatically in the past few years. In Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, the two big states where polling for Assembly seats is to be held soon, this is casting a dark shadow on the prospects of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), because in both, work being actually given under the scheme is far short of demand.<br />
<br />
In MP, last year about 76.5 lakh persons demanded work as per official records but only 61 lakh were actually provided work. In other words, some 15.5 lakh persons &ndash; about one in five &ndash; were turned back, and asked to fend for themselves. Note also, how demand has steadily risen since 2015-16. Yet, the number of those turned back has increased even faster.<br />
<br />
In Rajasthan, the same situation exists. Last year, nearly 77 lakh persons demanded work but just 65 lakh were actually provided. About 11.5 lakh or 15 per cent people were refused work. Demand for work has steadily risen in Rajasthan too.<br />

In Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, Floundering MGNREGS Angers People -Subodh Varma

-Newsclick.in A combination of fund squeeze and political aversion has deprived lakhs of people from getting MGNREGS work, even though wages are very low. As the job crisis rages unabated across the country, demand for work under the rural jobs guarantee programme (MGNREGS – Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) has risen dramatically in the past few years. In Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, the two big states where polling for Assembly seats is to be held soon, this is casting a dark shadow on the prospects of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), because in both, work being actually given under the scheme is far short of demand. In MP, last year about 76.5 lakh persons demanded work as per official records but only 61 lakh were actually provided work. In other words, some 15.5 lakh persons – about one in five – were turned back, and asked to fend for themselves. Note also, how demand has steadily risen since 2015-16. Yet, the number of those turned back has increased even faster. In Rajasthan, the same situation exists. Last year, nearly 77 lakh persons demanded work but just 65 lakh were actually provided. About 11.5 lakh or 15 per cent people were refused work. Demand for work has steadily risen in Rajasthan too. The Poorest are suffering the worst Remember: those seeking work in the programme are the poorest, most desperate people in the vast rural areas of both states, mostly hailing from agricultural labourer or marginal farmer families. They have no financial cushion, no social security, no savings or resources. That is why they seek work in the government-sponsored manual labour programme, as a last resort. Both MP and Rajasthan governments, which have been boasting about their ease of doing business and investment opportunities for big business, and have set records in market borrowings, become perversely tight-fisted when it comes to spending on such key welfare programmes as the MGNREGS.
