Mahatama Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS): It is
one of the important flagship programmes of Government of India. The expenditure
component under this head is shared on 90:10 basis between central and state govt. The
objective is to provide livelihood security to rural households by providing at least hundred
days of wage employment (unskilled manual work). Besides, durable assets will be created
which will strengthen livelihood resource base in rural areas.
Salient Features of the Programme:
• Adult members of a rural household, willing to do unskilled manual work, may apply for
registration in writing or orally to the local Gram Panchayat.
• The Gram Panchayat after due verification will issue a Job Card. The Job Card will bear
the photograph of all adult members of the household willing to work under NREGA and
is free of cost.
• The Job Card should be issued within 15 days of application.
• A Job Card holder may submit a written application for employment to the Gram
Panchayat, stating the time and duration for which work is sought. The minimum days
of employment have to be at least fourteen.
• The Gram Panchayat will issue a dated receipt of the written application for
employment, against which the guarantee of providing employment within 15 days
operates.
• Employment will be given within 15 days of application for work, if it is not then daily
unemployment allowance as per the Act, has to be paid. Liability of payment of
unemployment allowance is of the States.
• Work should ordinarily be provided within 5 km radius of the village. In case work is
provided beyond 5 km, extra wages of 10% are payable to meet additional transportation
and living expenses.
