How effective has the implementation of MGNREGS been in providing unemployment relief

With only ₹90,000 released as 'unemployment allowance' under MGNREGS in a fiscal year, evaluate the effectiveness of the scheme in addressing unemployment issues.
  • While the implementation of MGNREGS has created jobs for many rural households, the release of only ₹90,000 as 'unemployment allowance' in a fiscal year indicates limited impact.
  • The scheme's effectiveness in providing unemployment relief can be questioned due to the low amount allocated, which may not adequately support the livelihood of those in need.
  • More funds should be allocated towards the 'unemployment allowance' component of MGNREGS to better address the unemployment issues faced by the rural population.
  • Efforts should also be made to streamline the distribution process to ensure timely and efficient delivery of benefits to the intended beneficiaries.
