• Technology has facilitated the timely disbursal of wages to MGNREGA workers, but it has also led to the exclusion of workers from the program.
• Biometric attendance systems have become mandatory for workers to receive their wages, but this requirement can be challenging for elderly workers and those with physical disabilities.
• There have been instances where the biometric attendance system fails to register attendance, leading to workers being denied their wages.
• Technology has also been used to track the progress of MGNREGA works, but this has become an end in itself, with the focus shifting from creating durable assets to merely meeting targets.
• Jairam Ramesh has argued that the use of technology in MGNREGA needs to be more balanced with a greater emphasis on the rights and needs of workers.

In summary, while technology has undoubtedly improved some aspects of MGNREGA, there are also concerns about its impact on the program's objectives. There needs to be greater attention paid to ensuring that technology is used in a way that is inclusive and empowers the program's beneficiaries.
