MONITORING OF WORKS UNDER MGNREGA
MONITORING OF WORKS UNDER MGNREGA
E-muster Roll (e-MR) has been made mandatory for all individual beneficiaries works to strengthen worksite monitoring and ensure greater transparency and accountability, in which proper serial number is to be maintained in e-MR for recording of attendance of the workers. e-MR has to be issued by the Program Officer of the respective block.
With regard to National Mobile Monitoring System (NMMS) it is stated that in order to ensure transparency and accountability in the implementation of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (Mahatma Gandhi NREGS), the Ministry has decided that States/UTs shall ensure capturing of attendance at the worksite through National Mobile Monitoring System (NMMS) App with two-time stamped, geo-tagged photographs of the workers in a day for all the works (except Individual Beneficiary Work) through NMMS w.e.f. 1st January, 2023.
In order to avoid any inconvenience to the workers due to NMMS, provision has been made that in case any worksite is not located in network covered area or attendance could not be uploaded due to any other network issue then attendance can be captured in offline mode and can be uploaded once the device comes into network covered area. In case of exceptional circumstances owing to which attendance could not be uploaded, the provision for exemption at district level by District Program Coordinator also exists, which has since been decentralized to the Block level.
Mahatma Gandhi NREGS is a demand driven wage employment scheme with bottom up planning. The works are identified, approved and prioritized out of shelf of work by the Gram Panchayat, recommended by Gram Sabha in each State/UT as per the provision of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act. Accordingly, the works are approved and taken up by Panchayat as per the demand. The planning of works is done as per the estimated person days to be generated for the works in a financial year at the time of assessment of Labour Budget.
The category wise works taken up under different categories in the rural areas of all State /UTs and in the State of Uttarakhand during FY 2024-25 is given at Annexure –I and II respectively.
