How does the MGNREGS face a fund crunch and what is the impact of no additional allocation forthcoming

Exploring the financial challenges faced by MGNREGS and the implications of the absence of additional funding.
  • Decreased funding for MGNREGS leads to delays in wage payments to workers, affecting their livelihoods.
  • Insufficient funds may result in reduced work opportunities under the scheme, impacting rural employment generation.
  • Delayed payments and reduced work availability can lead to dissatisfaction among beneficiaries and decrease the effectiveness of the program.
  • Limited funds restrict the scope of infrastructure development and natural resource management projects under MGNREGS, hindering rural development.
  • Without additional allocation, the scheme may struggle to meet the demand for work in rural areas, exacerbating poverty and distress in vulnerable communities.
These challenges highlight the critical need for adequate funding to sustain and enhance the impact of MGNREGS in promoting rural livelihoods and economic development.
