Nizamabad slips to 4th position in NREGS works

After finishing top in 2010, Nizamabad slipped to fourth place behind Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram and Srikakulam districts in the implementation of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) in the state this year.

The NREGS works suffered a big setback this year due to non-cooperation movement conducted by Telangana employees' association demanding introduction of separate T state Bill in the Parliament from February 17 to March 4.

Sources said hectic agricultural activity was also one of the major reasons for the poor implementation of the scheme in the district this time round. Almost all the employees, including field assistants, technical assistants, additional programme officers (APOs) and computer operators, who play a vital role in the implementation of the scheme at the grassroots level, took part in the non-cooperation movement.

"NREGS works were almost stalled during the non-cooperation agitation period," sources said. The district, in fact, fell to 22nd rank during April first week but picked up pace to finish fourth in the standings at last. "In the present financial year, works have not started in about 100 villages so far," a NREGS official said.

Speaking to TOI, District Water Management Agency (DWMA) project director M Veerachary said that non-cooperation movement had its impact on the rural job scheme works. DWMA is the monitoring agency of NREGS works in the districts.

According to department statistics, only 36.36% households have been provided 100-day employment. In 2010, the district bagged the first rank by providing 100 days work to about 70,000 households, including Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe families.
