Revoke restrictions on MGNREGS works: Minister

The Hindu  

The Union government should amend the restrictions on Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme works that can be taken up in panchayats, Minister for Local Self Governments M.V. The Union government order limiting the number of works that can be taken up simultaneously under the MGNREGS in a panchayat to 20 is a huge setback to the State, the Minister said on Tuesday. It was against the programme’s essence of providing 100 workdays a year to families and the Union government should be ready to revoke it, he said. Restrictions that ignored Kerala’s situation would seriously hamper the project implementation in the State, he said.
