Jairam Ramesh to review rural job schemes in MP

-The Times of India
 
Amid complaints from opposition Congress about corruption in Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGS) and other schemes, Union Minister for Rural Development Jairam Ramesh will tour four districts of Madhya Pradesh to review implementation the centrally sponsored schemes. 

Ramesh is expected to tour Sagar, Jabalpur, Mandla and Bhopal districts to review theMNREGS and implementation of other rural development schemes, particularly in the light of complaints of irregularities in MNREGS in these districts, a Congress spokesman said. 

A delegation of Congress legislators, led by Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Ajay Singh, had called on Jairam Ramesh in New Delhi and apprised him about the alleged rampant corruption in MNREGS and other centrally sponsored rural development schemes. 

The delegation had also met union minister for mines Dinsha Patel and demanded a probe into the complaints of large scale illegal mining, particularly in Mahakaushal and Vindhya regions. The legislators' delegation also called on forest and environment minister Jayanti Natarajan and demanded centre's intervention to check illegal mining within the reserve forests. 

"First we raised these issues in the state assembly, which is the only state level appropriate forum, but the BJP government preferred to remain silent without initiating any action", leader of the opposition in the assembly Ajay Singh told the TOI. 

"It's also the responsibility of the centre to find out whether the benefits of centrally sponsored schemes are percolating down to the beneficiaries", he said adding that the union ministers concerned have assured to examine and take appropriate action on their representations.
