KEY POINTS

·        Not allocating adequate funds for MGNREGA in the Budget for the current financial year. According to the PAEG, the total budget allocation for MGNREGA this year was 34% less than the revised budget of the last financial year (2020-21).

·        Funds remaining as of September end can cover at most 13 days of employment per household until the financial year ends in March.

·        Another key takeaway is that inadequate allocation has a detrimental impact on people asking for a job.

·        There are two important legislative provisions of MGNREGA. One, work should be provided within 15 days of demanding work failing which the workers are entitled to an unemployment allowance.

·        workers should be paid within 15 days of completion of work, failing which they are entitled to compensation for the delays.

·        Delays by caste over timewhich details how the payments were delayed by caste for each of the 10 states. Jharkhand, Odisha, and Madhya Pradesh saw a particularly poor record of payments for non-SC, non-ST workers.

·        The caste-based wage payments go against the universal nature of the programme, lead to more bureaucratic work at the lower levels and delays, and create unnecessary grievances.
