&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;An investigation by the Union Ministry of Rural Development based on a report by The Indian Express has confirmed that the Gujarat government has been illegally diverting MNREGA funds for its own departmental works.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Ironically, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi had himself stated in New Delhi on Saturday that the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) scheme had become a &amp;lsquo;den of corruption&amp;rsquo; and that he had asked the Prime Minister for a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into it.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The central probe, headed by Amita Sharma, joint secretary in-charge of MNREGS in the Rural Development Ministry, was ordered on the basis of the The Indian Express report in May that said that forest department workers were being given work under MNREGS. The report said the Gujarat government was using the MNRGS funds to pay its own workers employed for many years, rather than generate fresh employment. Nearly 7,000 forest-produce gatherers and forest workers had threatened to go on an indefinite strike if they were brought under MNREGS.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;An official of the probe panel said on Monday: &amp;ldquo;It has now been established that funds were diverted (by the state government) from Mahatma Gandhi NREGA to the Department of Forest for their own departmental works.&amp;rdquo; Top forest officials were not available to comment on the probe panel findings.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The probe team, however, found that there was no official directive at any level for diversion of MNREGA funds for the activities undertaken by the Gujarat government.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The probe panel also looked into other issues including inspection of job cards, muster rolls, cash books, employment registers and other related documents and the entire process adopted by the state government in implementation of MGNREGA.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;None of the job cards inspected was found to have shown the entry of work allocation and payment made to the respective workers,&amp;rdquo; said a probe panel member.&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;An investigation by the Union Ministry of Rural Development based on a report by The Indian Express has confirmed that the Gujarat government has been illegally diverting MNREGA funds for its own departmental works.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Ironically, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi had himself stated in New Delhi on Saturday that the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) scheme had become a &amp;lsquo;den of corruption&amp;rsquo; and that he had asked the Prime Minister for a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into it.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The central probe, headed by Amita Sharma, joint secretary in-charge of MNREGS in the Rural Development Ministry, was ordered on the basis of the The Indian Express report in May that said that forest department workers were being given work under MNREGS. The report said the Gujarat government was using the MNRGS funds to pay its own workers employed for many years, rather than generate fresh employment. Nearly 7,000 forest-produce gatherers and forest workers had threatened to go on an indefinite strike if they were brought under MNREGS.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;An official of the probe panel said on Monday: &amp;ldquo;It has now been established that funds were diverted (by the state government) from Mahatma Gandhi NREGA to the Department of Forest for their own departmental works.&amp;rdquo; Top forest officials were not available to comment on the probe panel findings.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The probe team, however, found that there was no official directive at any level for diversion of MNREGA funds for the activities undertaken by the Gujarat government.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The probe panel also looked into other issues including inspection of job cards, muster rolls, cash books, employment registers and other related documents and the entire process adopted by the state government in implementation of MGNREGA.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;None of the job cards inspected was found to have shown the entry of work allocation and payment made to the respective workers,&amp;rdquo; said a probe panel member.&lt;/font&gt;

MNREGA funds: Central probe pins down Gujarat govt by Ravish Tiwari & Anupam Chakravartty

An investigation by the Union Ministry of Rural Development based on a report by The Indian Express has confirmed that the Gujarat government has been illegally diverting MNREGA funds for its own departmental works. Ironically, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi had himself stated in New Delhi on Saturday that the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) scheme had become a ‘den of corruption’ and that he had asked the Prime Minister for a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into it. The central probe, headed by Amita Sharma, joint secretary in-charge of MNREGS in the Rural Development Ministry, was ordered on the basis of the The Indian Express report in May that said that forest department workers were being given work under MNREGS. The report said the Gujarat government was using the MNRGS funds to pay its own workers employed for many years, rather than generate fresh employment. Nearly 7,000 forest-produce gatherers and forest workers had threatened to go on an indefinite strike if they were brought under MNREGS. An official of the probe panel said on Monday: “It has now been established that funds were diverted (by the state government) from Mahatma Gandhi NREGA to the Department of Forest for their own departmental works.” Top forest officials were not available to comment on the probe panel findings. The probe team, however, found that there was no official directive at any level for diversion of MNREGA funds for the activities undertaken by the Gujarat government. The probe panel also looked into other issues including inspection of job cards, muster rolls, cash books, employment registers and other related documents and the entire process adopted by the state government in implementation of MGNREGA. “None of the job cards inspected was found to have shown the entry of work allocation and payment made to the respective workers,” said a probe panel member.
