Rs.10,000 crore more for MGNREGA scheme -Priscilla Jebaraj

-The Hindu

However, the job scheme’s balance sheets remain in the red in 24 States, UTs.

The Finance Ministry has allocated additional funds of 10,000 crore as an interim measure for the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) scheme after it ran out of funds allocated in the budget, according to the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD). More funds may be forthcoming based on the “assessment of demand,” added the Ministry.

A Ministry spokesperson told The Hindu the extra money was allocated on November 5. However, the scheme’s financial statement on November 25 still reflects a negative net balance of 9,888 crore. Despite the additional allocations, the funds available for the scheme stand at 76,340 crore, well below the 86,229 crore which have been incurred as expenditure, including payments due for wages and materials. The scheme’s balance sheets remain in the red in 24 States and Union Territories.

“Recently, the Ministry of Finance allocated additional funds of 10,000 crore for the Mahatma Gandhi NREGA as an interim measure. Further allocation may be made upon assessment of demand during the revised estimate stage,” said an MoRD statement issued on Thursday. These revised estimates will be included in supplementary budget demands made to Parliament when the winter session opens on Monday.
