I. INTRODUCTION

II. BACKGROUND

GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES

NREGS GUIDELINES

The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, (NREGA) was notified on September 7, 2005.

NREGA 2005 is landmark legislation in Indian history of social security legislation after independence.

Enacted after a successful struggle for an employment guarantee legislation, this legislation is a partial

victory towards a fullfledged right to employment in any developing country context. The essential

feature of this legislation that separates it from any other public service provisioning scheme is its

enactment through the parliament of India.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of the Act is to enhance livelihood security in rural areas by providing at least 100 days

of guaranteed wage employment in a financial year to every household whose adult members volunteer

to do unskilled manual work.The primary objective of the Act is augmenting wage employment. Its

auxiliary objective is strengthening natural resource management through works that address causes of

chronic poverty, like drought, and so encourage sustainable development.

NREGA GOALS

y Strong social safety net for the vulnerable groups by providing a fallback employment source,

when other employment alternatives are scarce or inadequate.

y The Act seeks to strengthen the natural resource base of rural livelihood and create durable

assets in rural areas. Effectively implemented, NREGA has the potential to transform the

geography of poverty.

y Empowerment of rural poor through the processes of a rights-based Law.

Thus, NREGA fosters conditions for inclusive growth ranging from basic wage security and recharging

rural economy to a transformative empowerment process of democracy.

COVERAGE

FINDINGS:

NREGA was implemented in the year 2006 in the GP.

NREGA has been implemented in all of the 8 revenue villages of the GP along with the

smaller villages.

The NREGA office for the GP is located in Jagannathprasad block.

Training and information about implementation of NREGA was given to all the

members of the GP.

Procedure of registration for job card

People in the GP who want a job card can go and register in the Panchayat office where

the forms are available.

After registration people receive job cards within a month.

Some labours come together and demand for work and then work is provided to them

under NREGA.

Work under NREGA is always available. So whenever people with job cards demand,

they are provided work.

The average number of days work provided under NREGA in the GP is below 100 days.

Both the Panchayat and the people participate in deciding the type of the work that is to

be done under NREGA and the GP gives a proposal to the block. The block after giving

the approval gives an estimate regarding the number of people to work and the fund forthe project.

People of the GP are informed about the NREGA work by the GP by displaying the type

of work and the wage rate on notice boards in the Panchayat office and also in the Palli

sabhas.

Selection of people to work under NREGA is done batch wise when there are more

labourers demanding work than what the work requires.


14/25

Worksite facilities like water, first aid, shade etc are provided to the labourers.

The distance of the worksite is not more than 2 to 3 km from the residence of the

workers.

Road construction and digging ponds are the major work done under NREGA in the GP.

There is no support from the block in the implementation of NREGA. When no work is

done funds are returned back.

There are no problems in implementation of NREGA due to funds.

The wage rate for skilled labour is Rs 90 and unskilled labour is Rs 70.

For earthwork of 100 sq.ft, Rs 150 is the wage rate for normal soil and Rs 250 is the

wage rate for hard soil.

The Junior Engineer and the Assistant Engineer prepare the bill and the wage is

disbursed by the block office. The job card holders in the GP have bank accounts in the Rusikulya Gramin Bank where

the wage is deposited by the NREGA office.

The people who have worked under the NREGA scheme receive cheques which they

encash from the Rusikulya Gramin Bank.

Disbursement of wages takes around 4 to 5 months on an average.

Women receive equal wage as the men but there are more number of male than female

workers in the GP who worked under NREGA.

The Gram Sathi/Gram Sanjog maintains all the registers with details of the labourers

when the work is going on. Also verification is done by the JE and Assistant Engineer.

Currently there is no GRS present in the GP.

Auditing is done by the block.

Challenges faced in implementation of NREGA

People want wages on a daily basis and they want wages according to the hours they

have worked. But NREGA wages are given according to the measurement of the soil

they have dug, so people are not interested to work under NREGA. Outside they gethigher wages and they get payments on a daily basis.

There is poor response of the people of the GP towards NREGA. People participation is

very less.

Awareness of RTI is very low in the GP. So no one uses RTI.

Recommendation by the Panchayat


15/25

The change that the members of the Panchayat wanted in the programme was that it

should be on contract basis. They recommend that there should be a contractor who

should take up a project and employ labourers and also pay them.

In the Palli sabhas people are asked as well as informed by the GP about the type of work to be

The distance of the worksite is not more than 5 km from the residence of the workers.

Road construction and digging ponds are the major work done under NREGA in the GP.

There is support from the block in the implementation of NREGA. Since people are not willing

There are no problems in implementation of NREGA due to funds.

The change that the members of the Panchayat wanted in the programme was that wages should

be paid in cash in time and not through cheques as the bank is almost 20 km from the village

and people have to waste a full day for collecting their wage.

forms are available.

y After registration people receive job cards within 15 days.

y Some labours come together and demand for work and then work is provided to them under

NREGA.

y Work under NREGA is always available. So whenever people with job cards demand, they are

provided work.

y The average number of days work provided under NREGA in the GP is below 100 days.

y Both the Panchayat and the people participate in deciding the type of the work that is to be done

under NREGA and the GP gives a proposal to the block. The block after giving the approval

gives an estimate regarding the number of people to work and the fund for the project.

y In the Palli sabhas people are asked as well as informed by the GP about the type of work to bedone under NREGA.

y Worksite facilities like water, first aid, shade etc are provided to the labourers.

y The distance of the worksite is not more than 1.5 to 2 from the residence of the workers.

y Road construction, digging ponds, construction of Rajiv Gandhi Sewa Kendra are the major

work done under NREGA in the GP.


24/25

y 80% work done in the GP under NREGA is earthwork and 20% of the work is

building/construction and other work.

y There is no support from the block in the implementation of NREGA. When no work is done

funds are returned back.

y There are no problems in implementation of NREGA due to funds.

y The wage rate for skilled labour is Rs 90 and unskilled labour is Rs 70.

y For earthwork of 100 sq.ft, Rs 145 is the wage rate for normal soil and Rs 250 is the wage rate

for hard soil.

y Rs 90 is the wage rate for building/construction work.

y The Junior Engineer and the Assistant Engineer prepare the bill and the wage is disbursed by

the block office. For the Panchayat work payment is done by the Panchayat.

y The job card holders in the GP have bank accounts in the Rusikulya Gramin Bank where the

wage is deposited by the NREGA office.

y The people who have worked under the NREGA scheme receive cheques which they encash

from the Rusikulya Gramin Bank.

y Disbursement of wages takes around 15 days to 1 month on an average.

y Women receive equal wage as the men and more women are interested to work under NREGA

in the GP.

y The Gram Sathi/Gram Sanjog and the GRS maintains all the registers with details of the

labourers when the work is going on. Also verification is done by the JE, Assistant Engineer,

ABDO and BDO.

y Auditing is done by the block as well as the Panchayat.


y People want wages on a daily basis and they want wages according to the hours they have

worked. But NREGA wages are given according to the measurement of the soil they have dug,

so people are not interested to work under NREGA. Outside they get higher wages and they get

payments on a daily basis.

y There is poor response of the people of the GP towards NREGA. People participation is very

less.


25/25

y Awareness of RTI is very low in the GP. So no one uses RTI.


y The change that the members of the Panchayat wanted in the programme was timely

disbursement of wages and increase in wage rate so that more people would be interested to

work under NREGA.
