The April-July period typically sees 25% greater work execution (in terms of person-days) under the scheme compared with the rest of the fiscal, thereby aiding rural income, the Crisil report said

The average income per person per month under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) doubled to 1,000 in the first four months of this fiscal from 509 in the previous year, ratings and research agency Crisil said in a report on Tuesday.

“The April-July period typically sees 25% greater work execution (in terms of person-days) under the scheme compared with the rest of the fiscal, thereby aiding rural income," Crisil said. “This fiscal, however, these four months saw a growth of 46% year-on-year in person-days, coupled with an increase of 12% in average wage under the scheme."

“The primary reason for the government’s thrust on MGNREGA is the covid-19 pandemic, which has pushed urban labourers back into their villages," Crisil said.
