On Saturday, the Ministry of Rural Development denied that the rural jobs scheme was facing a shortage of funds. Its response, however, “leaves many questions unanswered,” according to civil society members.

Activists have questioned the Centre’s response to media reports on the shortage of available funds for the rural employment guarantee scheme in the current financial year, by alleging that it is “misleading” and that it leaves many raised questions “unanswered.”

Last week on Saturday, the Narendra Modi – led central government said that it is “committed” to the proper implementation of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) and assured the “release funds for wages and material payments”, as per the law, whenever required.

The press statement issued by the Union Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD), which monitors the implementation of the jobs scheme in association with state governments, came in response to a report by a civil society group that indicated that the generation of employment under the scheme in the upcoming months will be hugely impacted since almost all of the allocated fund for this financial year has already been utilized.

Almost 90% of the Rs. 73,000 crore allocated as the budget for MGNREGA in the fiscal year 2021-22 have been utilized, found the “NREGA National Tracker” report for the April-September period of this year, authored by People’s Action For Employment Guarantee (PAEG). It added that as many as twenty states in the country including Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal among others have a negative net balance – total funds available minus total expenditure and the payments due for expenses incurred in the current year.
