‘6.28 lakh beneficiaries added to the workforce in 2020-21 fiscal’
The turnout for work under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) increased in the State in the 2020-21 financial year, but participation of women workforce saw a decline.
The difference between the amount of person days (employment) generated by men and women is striking. The share of person days by men has seen a growth of 10.85% in the pandemic-hit year, while the share of women person days has registered a negative growth of 3.72%, when compared to the date of 2019-20 fiscal year.
