• One major challenge in using technology in MGNREGA is the absence of IT infrastructure and connectivity in rural areas, which impedes the implementation of the program. A majority of beneficiaries struggle to access technology, making the use of technology nullify MGNREGA’s objective.
• Furthermore, technology-driven solutions often fail to address the problems of the most vulnerable and marginalized sections of society. The use of technology might not account for the needs of the elderly, disabled persons, and those who are illiterate or without technical knowledge.
• The emphasis on electronic payments over direct cash payments could also lead to challenges in use, especially in remote areas with low financial literacy. Furthermore, advanced training is required for MGNREGA beneficiaries to access technological solutions. In absence of appropriate training, technological solutions could nullify MGNREGA's objective.
• Lastly, loss of human touch in MGNREGA could result in loss of trust in program and help undermine the dignity of the beneficiaries. This further limits the program's potential in creating employment opportunities that are potentially used for distress migration.

In conclusion, the use of technology in MGNREGA has potential, however its effectiveness depends on careful implementation and support from governments to ensure that all people can participate in the program without obstacles.
