A Jharkhand minister has appealed to the central government to release pending dues amounting to Rs 900 crore under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA).
The Jharkhand government has formally requested the Union government to expedite the release of Rs 900 crore owed under the MGNREGA scheme. This appeal has been made by a state minister, highlighting the financial needs for the rural employment program.
The pending funds are crucial for the effective implementation of MGNREGA, which guarantees at least 100 days of wage employment in a financial year to every rural household that demands it. The release of these dues is expected to support ongoing employment generation activities in the state's rural areas.
This financial assistance is vital for ensuring that the program continues to provide livelihood support to a significant number of rural workers across Jharkhand.
