NREGA: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGESChapter 5Despite national implementation status pointing at focus on creation ofvillage productive assets, very few states are indeed giving priority toproductive assets like water harvesting structures. This takes away theNREGA’s huge development potential for villages.◆ ◆ ◆Except for five states, 22 other states have negligible allocation for waterconservation. During 2006-07, Andhra Pradesh alone accounted for 66.87per cent of total water conservation works under NREGA in the country. Itmeans a state with 19 NREGA districts spent the maximum. Along with AP,Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand accounted for around 96 per cent of totalconservation works.◆ ◆ ◆Most of the water harvesting works has not been completed for variousreasons. The main reason is absence of technical assistance for Panchayat.This puts the structures into disuse.◆ ◆ ◆There is no compulsion on government to complete a work. Thus it hasopened up thousands of works but is not completing many of them. In thelong term these assets become useless.35
