BHUBANESWAR: There are greater than 62 lakh families in the state registered beneath the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), however not up to one in step with cent, or around 6,000, get the overall quota of 100 days' work.
The job scheme which has been operating in the state since February 2006 provides a guarantee of 100 days of labor in a financial year to rural families.
If the federal government fails to facilitate 100 days of labor to the beneficiaries, they can claim unemployment allowance consistent with norms. So some distance, a total of 62,39,359 families have registered themselves beneath the scheme and feature received job playing cards.
But whilst only 0.09 in step with cent registered families have availed full quota of job in Bargarh, it is 0.86 in step with cent in Balangir, 0.24 in step with cent in Kalahandi and zero.58 in step with cent in Nuapada district, panchayati raj minister Pradeep Maharathy said in a written respond to the meeting on Tuesday. In truth, now not a unmarried family in Boudh district availed the overall quota of labor. All these are traditionally migration-prone spaces where lack of work continuously forces folks to take a look at their luck in other places.
Highlighting the craze, Maharathy said the federal government can facilitate 100 days of labor provided that the job card holder demands work.
Some of the districts which performed slightly higher in providing the overall quota of job to MGNREGS beneficiaries include Gajapati (1.06 in step with cent), Ganjam (1.27 in step with cent), Kandhamal (1.94 in step with cent) and Malkangiri (1.43 in step with cent).
"Odisha is not the only state with such a situation under the MGNREGS. If the beneficiaries cannot get 100 days of work despite demanding for it, they can seek unemployment allowance. But we have not received a single application seeking such allowance," an official of the panchayati raj division said on situation of anonymity.
In 2017-18, the state govt has set a goal to create nine crore guy/days beneath the rural job scheme for which the Centre has agreed to spend Rs 2,798 crore.
"If one person works for a day, it amounts to one man/day. We have, so far, achieved 58 per cent of the target," the official added.
