How much does Bihar currently owe under the MGNREGS scheme and what is the response from the Centre
₹1,570 crore owed to Bihar under MGNREGS, Centre tells Rajya Sabha
- Bihar currently owes ₹1,570 crore under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS).
- The Centre has informed the Rajya Sabha about the pending amount owed to Bihar.
- The delay in releasing funds to states for MGNREGS implementation can hamper the livelihoods of rural workers and affect the overall effectiveness of the scheme.
- The Centre needs to ensure timely disbursal of funds to states to avoid such backlog issues and ensure smooth implementation of MGNREGS.
- Both the Centre and state governments need to work together to address the financial gaps and prioritize the welfare of rural workers who rely on MGNREGS for livelihood support.
