Modi wanted to end MGNREGS. Now it's his only tool to ride through slowdown -Sevanti Ninan

Under the Modi government, the MGNREGS has suddenly become both an indicator of rural stagnation as well as the proposed solution to it.

Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar had told the Lok Sabha in July this year that the Narendra Modi government was “not in favour of continuing with” the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme for long.  While MGNREGS’ target group is the rural poor, the Modi government’s larger goal is to eliminate poverty altogether, Tomar said.

But now, the rural development and agriculture ministry is preparing to ask for an additional Rs 20,000 crore for this scheme in the winter session of Parliament. This would be besides the Rs 60,000 crore already earmarked for the scheme in the 2019-20 Union Budget.
