The half-yearly MG-NREGA National tracker launched by PAEG today highlighted that 90 per cent of the allocated budget has been used up with 5 months of the programme still remaining and the remaining funds available can cover at most 13 days of employment per household till March 31, 2022. More details here.

In her opening statement at the joint press conference conducted by Peoples’ Action for Employment Guarantee (PAEG) and LibTech India, Jayati Ghosh, Indian development economist, said that MG-NREGA which has always been a safety net for both urban and rural India is now an enormous lifeline for all workers across the country. “This is not an economy that is looking for a speedy recovery despite what we get told by various people from the finance ministry and outside. The vast majority of livelihoods are still not just fragile but much lower than they were and are under distress,” she added. 

The event discussed the key findings of MG-NREGA (Mahatma Gandhi-National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) National Tracker by PAEG, a group of activists, academics, and members of peoples’ organizations that have been advocating for the MG-NREGA since 2004. It also highlighted the findings of Libtech India’s study Heavy Wait: Wage Payment Delays in MG-NREGA by the Central Government across Caste and Payment Type from April, 2021 to September, 2021 on MG-NREGA wage payment delays by the central government. 

The MG-NREGA National tracker is an attempt to closely monitor the performance of MG-NREGA by making some key metrics available in an accessible manner. It was started in 2020 on a half-yearly basis. It tracked MG-NREGA from April 1- September 31, 2021. The findings pointed out gaping loopholes in the MG-NREGA budget allocation and payments.
