Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has approved a proposal to reduce the tasks of labourers engaged for works under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) following a time-motion study on their work efficiency. The exemption will be carried out in the financial year 2021-22, beginning on Thursday.
Jaipur-based Malviya National Institute of Technology had recently suggested on the basis of its scientific study that the tasks assigned to the unskilled MGNREGA labourers be reduced to increase their efficiency and productivity. The study analysed the works of both male and female labourers in different weather conditions.
