MGNREG Act, 2005
I suppose I will again have to bell the cat, since I do not see anyone else around to do the job. And no doubt I will be showered with abuses again. But what of that ? As Faiz said " Bol ki lab azad hain tere, bol zubaan ab tak teri hai " i.e. ' Speak out, for your lips are free. Speak out, for your tongue is still yours '. So I will speak out.
The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee, Act, 2005, which ostensibly ensures 100 days work for every rural household, is nothing but a gigantic hoax, a stunt, like the National Food Security Act, 2013,aimed at getting votes by befooling the public, taking them for a ride, and posing to be their benefactor.
It is true that there is massive unemployment in the country ( see my blog ' Unemployment in India ' on justicekatju.blogspot.in ). 10 million youth are entering into the job market every year, but only half a million jobs are being created annually in the organized sector of the economy.
But jobs cannot be created by legislation, otherwise why not simply pass a law that unemployment is abolished, and everyone will be given a well paying job ?
Jobs are created when the economy is rapidly expanding, but that is not possible within the present system in India. The truth is that presently the Indian economy is lying broadly stagnant.
Also, we have many welfare schemes in India. But it is the bureaucracy which has to implement these schemes, and the bureaucracy in India is largely corrupt. So apart from the basic objection that employment cannot be created by legislation, another glaring fact is that MNREGA is mired in corruption, as it was bound to be considering the widespread and deeply entrenched corruption in India.
The MNREGA scheme was to be implemented by the gram (village ) panchayat, but everyone having even a little idea of the social realities of rural India knows that most of these gram panchayats are hotbeds of casteism and centres of corruption. The gram pradhan, and other officials of the gram panchayats, and their relatives have grabbed almost all the gram sabha land which was meant for the common use of all villagers.
MNREGA is another swindle, fraud and sapna ( dream ) shown by our crooked politicians, our Sapnon ke Saugagar ( dream merchants ), who while pretending to be working for the people's welfare by presenting such schemes, were in fact busy looting the country of not crores, but lacs of crores of rupees which they have taken abroad to secret havens.

Very true! MGNREGA is a big opportunity for many to siphon out the tax payers' money without any scrutiny or effective auditing!

DeleteExtremely true sir. In Assam also all the money sanctioned under this scheme fully siphoned off by the Panchayat President & Secretary. No body can ask any question against them because politician protected them by police force. Rural people do not voice against police, if anybody dare to do he will be implicated under false case.
ReplyDeleteMGNREG is a good scheme but the implementation is not proper. Somewhere it has reduced the migration of labour as we find in Punjab, the inflow of manpower from Bihar and East Uttar Pradesh has reduced drastically but from MP and Odisha migrants have not reduced their numbers. We need a strict audit system to watch the implementation. But corruption can fail the efforts - I fear and no solution is visible in near future against this evil. Do we not need a dictator to control us?
