State set to introduce uniform Form 6 for NREGA workers

In a bid to ensure that those who are not provided work within the stipulated 15 days under the MGNREGA get the unemployment benefit, the government is about to introduce a uniform Form 6 across the state. The Form 6, where requisition is filled for work under NREGA, will also have a receipt attached which would be handed over to the worker as proof of when the work was sought.

The decision was taken at the monthly meeting of NREGA at the Indira Gandhi Panchayati Raj bhawan on Monday. It was attended by rural development minister Bharat Singh, principal secretary C S Rajan and members of Mazdoor Kishan Shakti Sangathan (MKSS).

Currently, various modifications of Form 6 are doing the rounds of the state, among which many do not have a receipt attached to it. The state plans to strictly implement the issuance of job receipts, and those found not adhering to it will have to pay a fine of Rs 1000. Efforts are on to ensure that these forms can be deposited six days a week and not just Thursday.

The state is also looking at granting the authority to the ward panch to accept the forms. At present, the NREGA only empowers the BDO, sarpanch and the Rozgar sevaks to accept such forms. "But most of the time, these people are not around and as a result, people are not able to get work," said Nikhil Dey of MKSS.

Despite provision of funds, the number of workers employed under the NREGA is at its lowest this time.

MGNREGA work site management will also feature prominently on the state government's agenda in the coming months. Members of the MKSS expressed their ire at the non-implementation of group measurement practices at work sites and threatened to launch an agitation by June 1 if such a system was not in place by then.

However, they were assured by the rural development departent officials that within 45 days, and before July 1, the government would try to ensure such a system was being followed.

The officials of the department also assured to follow a uniform system for preparing a muster roll as well as ensure that job cards are distributed to every worker. A close watch will also be kept on wall paintings in the panchayats and omission or priting of wrong facts will be dealt with strictly.
