-First MGNREGA tracker by Peoples' Action for Employment Guarantee (PAEG), released on 13th July, 2020

A note has been prepared by the Peoples' Action for Employment Guarantee (PAEG) that brings to you the latest developments, updates, and figures on the implementation of MGNREGA across the country till 9th July, 2020. Given the significant role that MGNREGA is playing in the lives and livelihoods of rural workers, PAEG intends to keep a close watch on its implementation and flag issues for public discussion at regular intervals.

PAEG will send updated versions of this note on a weekly basis.

The NREGA is a lifeline for millions of rural poor. It guarantees 100 days of employment for each rural household at minimum wages. There are two important legislative provisions. Work should be provided within 15 days of demanding for work failing which the workers are entitled to an unemployment allowance. Workers should be paid within 15 days of completion of work failing which they are entitled to a delay compensation. While NREGA has always been vital, it has assumed renewed significance in light of the unemployment crisis induced by the lockdown. This weekly tracker is an attempt to closely monitor the performance of NREGA by making some key metrics available to everybody in an accessible manner. Some of the metrics would be updated weekly, some monthly, and some quarterly.

What is in this tracker?

The tracker provides some broad statistics from the NREGA Management Information System (MIS) such as the number of households that have completed 100 days of work, the number of households nearing completion of 100 days of work, amount of funds left with states, a
comparison between work demanded and employment provided for select states. The tracker also provides two graphs monitoring the NREGA performance annually. It shows the inflation-adjusted budget over the years and the pending liabilities as a proportion of the annual budget.
