Budget 2021: MNREGA is vital but needs more govt attention
Budget 2021: The government was forced to not just continue with MNREGA, but also increase the budgetary allocation under it in the pandemic year. The scheme is now counting on the upcoming budget for more money. January 20, 2021 / 12:37 PM IST
In a year of unprecedented challenges due to Covid19 and subsequent loss of livelihood for the rural poor, the UPA-era rural job guarantee scheme has been a life-saver. The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee (MNREGA) scheme has seen a record number of households as well as individuals demanding work in 2020-21. Until the morning of January 19, nearly 76.7 million households and more than 118 million people had demanded work under the scheme. This means nearly 20 million more households and 27 million more people demanding work under the scheme compared to the full year 2019-20.
