The Mahatma Gandhi Rural Employment Guarantee Act has often been ridiculed as a scheme that has hardly any impact. Many say that MGNREGA workers just 'dig and fill holes,' but scientists from premier science institutions seem to think differently. At a time when the Mahatma Gandhi Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) is facing flak from many quarters including the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), a study by Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and other national institutions suggests that the scheme has generated environmental benefits in a number of states. MGNREGA was in news recently for poor implementation and wastage of funds. The CAG report had found that only 30% of 129 lakh works worth over Rs 1.26 lakh crore was completed. But the IISc report commissioned by the ministry of rural development and GIZ, analyses the impact of the scheme from an environmental point of view. |
