In the face of mounting criticism on the way the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (Mgnregs) was being implemented arbitrarily, the Rural Development Ministry on Tuesday agreed to set up a sub-group to suggest measures for effective execution of the law.

Conceding the demand raised at the meeting of the Central Employment Guarantee Council (CEGC), the governing body for the Mgnregs, Rural Development Minister C.P. Joshi formed a six-member sub-group under department secretary B.K. Sinha. The other members are Jean Dreze, Aruna Roy, Mihir Shah, Madhusudan Mistry and Ashwini Kumar.

The sub-group will decide on issues such as the setting up of an executive committee for effective functioning of the council, wage policy, social auditing and accountability, monitoring and evaluating the scheme as a whole. On the demand for linking the wage rate to the consumer price index, the Minister said that he would decide only after the task force set up by him submitted its report.

Dr. Joshi, however, pushed his prime agenda of constructing the Bharat Nirman Rajiv Gandhi Sewa Kendra at the panchayat and block levels assuring members like Prof. Dreze that their reservations would be considered.

The Minister told reporters later that he had assured the CEGC that only 40 per cent of the Mgnregs funds would be utilised for construction of these buildings.
