Delayed wages scuttle MGNREGS in Nuapada Post News Network
Nuapada: This tribal-dominated district is better known for high migration of labourers. To check their exodus, the government spends crores of rupees under MGNREGS, but the Centre-sponsored scheme seems to have failed to achieve its objectives due to irregularities or delayed payment of wages in some cases.
It is said that timely clearance of wages can be a factor for success of the scheme in the backward district. The scheme assumes much importance for daily wagers and job card holders during the ongoing pandemic-troubled times.
The government laid thrust on proper implementation of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGREGS) as a panacea to ensure earning scope for the rural workforce in their localities at this difficult time.
