Under the programme, 344 crore person-days employment generated so far this financial year; 1.69 crore new job cards

New Delhi: The flagship Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) emerged as a crucial source of employment to wage seekers in the country, especially the returnee migrant labourers, during the Covid-induced national lockdown.

The highest ever 344 crore person-days employment has been generated so far this financial year (2020-21). It is about 44 per cent higher than the corresponding period last fiscal.

As many as 1.69 crore new job cards were issued this year as compared to about 69 lakh in previous year, reflecting the succor MGNREGA provided to the migrant workers going back to their villages.

This has also resulted in creation of around 72 lakh durable and useful assets. A total of 4.29 crore assets have been geo-tagged with the coordinated efforts of the Union and states governments.

"The total person-days generated under the MGNREGA during the current financial year included 52 per cent women person-days," Union Rural Development Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said at a programme last week.
