GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES
NREGS GUIDELINES

The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, (NREGA) was notified on September 7, 2005.
NREGA 2005 is landmark legislation in Indian history of social security legislation after independence.
Enacted after a successful struggle for an employment guarantee legislation, this legislation is a partial
victory towards a full‐fledged right to employment in any developing country context. The essential
feature of this legislation that separates it from any other public service provisioning scheme is its
enactment through the parliament of India.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of the Act is to enhance livelihood security in rural areas by providing at least 100 days
of guaranteed wage employment in a financial year to every household whose adult members volunteer
to do unskilled manual work. The primary objective of the Act is augmenting wage employment. Its
auxiliary objective is strengthening natural resource management through works that address causes of
chronic poverty, like drought, and so encourage sustainable development.

NREGA GOALS

 Strong social safety net for the vulnerable groups by providing a fallback employment source,
when other employment alternatives are scarce or inadequate.
 The Act seeks to strengthen the natural resource base of rural livelihood and create durable
assets in rural areas. Effectively implemented, NREGA has the potential to transform the
geography of poverty.
 Empowerment of rural poor through the processes of a rights-based Law.

Thus, NREGA fosters conditions for inclusive growth ranging from basic wage security and recharging
rural economy to a transformative empowerment process of democracy.

COVERAGE
The Act was notified in 200 districts in the first phase with effect from February 2nd 2006 and then
extended to additional 130 districts in the financial year 2007-2008 (113 districts were notified with
effect from April 1st 2007, and 17 districts in UP were notified with effect from May 15 th 2007). The
remaining districts have been notified under the NREGA with effect from April 1, 2008.

fixed by the State Government for agricultural labourers under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948.
 All payments of NREGA wages through Banks (or Post Offices) Bank /Post Office accounts
should be opened pro-actively on behalf of all concerned labourers by an appropriate authority
(e.g. Bank or Gram Panchayat). Labourers should not be required to open their own Bank
account.
 Payment should not be made through individual cheques drawn in favour of workers to avoid
use of large number of cheques. A pay order may be generated in favour of group of workers in
the Muster Roll addressed to the Branch Manager for crediting the amount shown against
workers in the account of the workers and requesting him to make the payment to the workers
on demand. When the amount is paid, wage slip may be generated for intimation of the worker.

 FINDINGS:
 NREGA was implemented in the year 2006 in the GP.
 NREGA has been implemented in all of the 8 revenue villages of the GP along with the
smaller villages.
 The NREGA office for the GP is located in Jagannathprasad block.
 Training and information about implementation of NREGA was given to all the
members of the GP.

Procedure of registration for job card

 People in the GP who want a job card can go and register in the Panchayat office where
the forms are available.
 After registration people receive job cards within a month.

 Some labours come together and demand for work and then work is provided to them
under NREGA.
 Work under NREGA is always available. So whenever people with job cards demand,
they are provided work.
 The average number of days work provided under NREGA in the GP is below 100 days.
 Both the Panchayat and the people participate in deciding the type of the work that is to
be done under NREGA and the GP gives a proposal to the block. The block after giving
the approval gives an estimate regarding the number of people to work and the fund for
the project.
  People of the GP are informed about the NREGA work by the GP by displaying the type
of work and the wage rate on notice boards in the Panchayat office and also in the Palli
sabhas.
 Selection of people to work under NREGA is done batch wise when there are more
labourers demanding work than what the work requires.
 Worksite facilities like water, first aid, shade etc are provided to the labourers.
 The distance of the worksite is not more than 2 to 3 km from the residence of the
workers.
 Road construction and digging ponds are the major work done under NREGA in the GP.
 There is no support from the block in the implementation of NREGA. When no work is
done funds are returned back.
 There are no problems in implementation of NREGA due to funds.

 The wage rate for skilled labour is Rs 90 and unskilled labour is Rs 70.
 For earthwork of 100 sq.ft, Rs 150 is the wage rate for normal soil and Rs 250 is the
wage rate for hard soil.
 The Junior Engineer and the Assistant Engineer prepare the bill and the wage is
disbursed by the block office.
 The job card holders in the GP have bank accounts in the Rusikulya Gramin Bank where
the wage is deposited by the NREGA office.
 The people who have worked under the NREGA scheme receive cheques which they
encash from the Rusikulya Gramin Bank.
 Disbursement of wages takes around 4 to 5 months on an average.
 Women receive equal wage as the men but there are more number of male than female
workers in the GP who worked under NREGA.

 The Gram Sathi/Gram Sanjog maintains all the registers with details of the labourers
when the work is going on. Also verification is done by the JE and Assistant Engineer.
 Currently there is no GRS present in the GP.
 Auditing is done by the block.

Challenges faced in implementation of NREGA

 People want wages on a daily basis and they want wages according to the hours they
have worked. But NREGA wages are given according to the measurement of the soil
they have dug, so people are not interested to work under NREGA. Outside they get
higher wages and they get payments on a daily basis.
  There is poor response of the people of the GP towards NREGA. People participation is
very less.
 Awareness of RTI is very low in the GP. So no one uses RTI.

Recommendation by the Panchayat

 The change that the members of the Panchayat wanted in the programme was that it
should be on contract basis. They recommend that there should be a contractor who
should take up a project and employ labourers and also pay them.

 After registration people receive job cards within 15 days.

 Some labours come together and demand for work and then work is provided to them under
NREGA.
 Work under NREGA is always available. So whenever people with job cards demand, they are
provided work.
 The average number of days work provided under NREGA in the GP is below 100 days.
 Both the Panchayat and the people participate in deciding the type of the work that is to be done
under NREGA and the GP gives a proposal to the block. The block after giving the approval
gives an estimate regarding the number of people to work and the fund for the project.
 In the Palli sabhas people are asked as well as informed by the GP about the type of work to be
done under NREGA.
 Worksite facilities like water, first aid, shade etc are provided to the labourers.
 The distance of the worksite is not more than 1.5 to 2 from the residence of the workers.
 Road construction, digging ponds, construction of Rajiv Gandhi Sewa Kendra are the major
work done under NREGA in the GP.
 80% work done in the GP under NREGA is earthwork and 20% of the work is
building/construction and other work.
 There is no support from the block in the implementation of NREGA. When no work is done
funds are returned back.

the block office. For the Panchayat work payment is done by the Panchayat.
 The job card holders in the GP have bank accounts in the Rusikulya Gramin Bank where the
wage is deposited by the NREGA office.
 The people who have worked under the NREGA scheme receive cheques which they encash
from the Rusikulya Gramin Bank.
 Disbursement of wages takes around 15 days to 1 month on an average.
 Women receive equal wage as the men and more women are interested to work under NREGA
in the GP.
 The Gram Sathi/Gram Sanjog and the GRS maintains all the registers with details of the
labourers when the work is going on. Also verification is done by the JE, Assistant Engineer,
ABDO and BDO.
 Auditing is done by the block as well as the Panchayat.

Challenges faced in implementation of NREGA

 People want wages on a daily basis and they want wages according to the hours they have
worked. But NREGA wages are given according to the measurement of the soil they have dug,
so people are not interested to work under NREGA. Outside they get higher wages and they get
payments on a daily basis.
 There is poor response of the people of the GP towards NREGA. People participation is very
less.
 Awareness of RTI is very low in the GP. So no one uses RTI.

Recommendation by the Panchayat

 The change that the members of the Panchayat wanted in the programme was timely
disbursement of wages and increase in wage rate so that more people would be interested to
work under NREGA.
