National Rural Employment Scheme default: 605 gram panchayats face action

-The Times of India

AMRAVATI: Divisional commissioner Ganesh Thakur on Saturday said that over 605 gram panchayats (GPs) in Amravati division will face the music for apathy in implementation of the National Rural Employment Scheme (NREGS). Buldhana district 'topped' in the division with 285 gram panchayats dodging NREGS work.

Thakur said that the administration had spent around Rs 39 crore on NREGS in five districts of the division in 2010-2011 while Rs 185 crore in 2011-2012. The administration has been implementing NREGS in around 3,252 gram panchayats. However, seeing the apathy, the administration has decided to crack down on the sarpanch and gram sevaks of 605 gram panchayats which did not carry out any work under NREGS, Thakur said.

96 of 843 gram panchayats in Amravati district are liable for action for ignoring NREGS work, Thakur said. In Akola, 39 of 542 gram panchayats face action while 75 in Yavatmal and 110 in Washim, he said.
