    National Rural Employment Guarantee Act

    INTRODUCTION:

    Implemented by the Ministry of Rural Development- External website that opens in a new

    window, National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA)- External website that opens

    in a new window is the flagship programme of the Government that directly touches lives of

    the poor and promotes inclusive growth. The Act aims at enhancing livelihood security of

    households in rural areas of the country by providing at least one hundred days of guaranteed

    wage employment in a financial year to every household whose adult members volunteer to

    do unskilled manual work.

    The Act came into force on February 2, 2006 and was implemented in a phased manner. In

    Phase one it was introduced in 200 of the most backward districts of the country. It was

    implemented in an additional 130 districts in Phase two 2007-2008. As per the initial target,

    NREGA was to be expanded countrywide in five years. However, in order to bring the whole

    nation under its safety net and keeping in view the demand, the Scheme was extended to the

    remaining 274 rural districts of India from April 1, 2008 in Phase III.

    National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA)- External website that opens in a new

    window is the first ever law internationally, that guarantees wage employment at an

    unprecedented scale. 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 1 like drought, deforestation and soil erosion and so encourage

    sustainable development. The process outcomes include strengthening grassroots processes of

    democracy and infusing transparency and accountability in governance.

    With its rights-based framework and demand driven approach, National Rural EmploymentGuarantee Act (NREGA)- External website that opens in a new window marks a paradigm

    shift from the previous wage programmes. The Act is also a significant vehicle for

    strengthening decentralization and deepening processes of democracy by giving a pivotal role

    to the Panchayati Raj Institutions in planning, monitoring and implementation. Unique

    features of the ACT include, time bound employment guarantee and wage payment within 15

    days, incentive-disincentive structure to the State Governments for providing employment as

    90 per cent of the cost for employment provided is borne by the Centre or payment of

    unemployment allowance at their own cost and emphasis on labour intensive works

    prohibiting the use of contractors and machinery. The Act also mandates 33 percent

    participation for women. Over the last two years, implementation trends vindicate the basic

    objective of the Act 2.

    Research Methodology

    The research on the topic RURAL EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMME would require both

    doctrinal and non-doctrinal mode of research.

    Doctrinal research or traditional research involves analysis of case laws, arranging,

    ordering and systematizing legal prepositions and study of legal institutions, but it

    does more it creates law and its major tools through legal reasoning or rational

    deductions. In the opinion of Booming, this kind of research represents more a

    practical regulative ideal of how the judicial process ought to be conceived by the

    judiciary than a theoretical analysis of its actual structure and functioning.3

    My doctrinal research included consulting various books related to Rural Society and

    about their employment programme and Articles related to the same available in

    library of Damodaram Sanjivayya National Law University.

    Non-doctrinal research required me to visit a village in chitoor district, a village

    named Pileru . My research work based on the inhabitants of that area only. I

    personally liked that village, as villagers were aware of their rights and the plans of

    the government for them. The village is very beautiful with awesome land scenic

    beauty, with mountain and a small stream of water especially managed by the

    Government of Andhra Pradesh for irrigation in the fields.

    SAILENT FEATURES1. Rationale of Workfare Programmes

    A majority of the poor in rural areas of the country depend mainly on the wages they earn

    through unskilled, casual, manual labour. They are often on threshold levels of subsistence,

    and are vulnerable to the possibility of sinking from transient to chronic poverty. Inadequate

    labour demand or unpredictable crises that may be general in nature, like natural disaster or

    personal like ill-health, all adversely impact their employment opportunities.

    In a context of poverty & unemployment, workfare programmes have been important

    interventions in developed as well as developing countries for many years. These

    programmes typically provide unskilled manual workers with short-term employment on

  • 8/10/2019 sociology project second sem.docx

    7/18

    7

    public works such as, irrigation infrastructure, reforestation, soil conservation and road

    construction.

    The rationale for workfare programmes rests on some basic considerations. The programmes

    provide income transfers to poor households during critical times and also enable

    consumption smoothing, especially during slack agricultural seasons or years. In countries

    with high unemployment rates, transfer benefits from workfare programmes can prevent

    poverty from worsening, particularly during lean periods. Durable assets that these

    programmes may create have the potential to generate second-round employment benefits as

    needed infrastructure is developed.

    2. Workfare Programs in India 4

    The need to evolve a mechanism to supplement existing livelihood sources in rural areas was

    recognized early in development planning in India. The Government implemented workfare

    programmes that offered wage employment on public works at minimum wages. The wage

    employment programmes started as pilot projects in the form of Rural Manpower (RMP)

    [1960-61], Crash Scheme for Rural Employment (CRSE) [1971-72], Pilot Intensive Rural

    Employment Programme (PIREP) [1972], Small Farmers Development Agency (SFDA),

    These experiments were translated into a full-fledged wage-employment programme in 1977

    in the form of Food for Work Programme (FWP). In the 1980's this programme was further

    streamlined into the National Rural Employment Programme (NREP) and Rural Landless

    Employment Guarantee Programme (RLEGP). Jawahar Rozgar Yojana (JRY) [1993-94],

    Employment Assurance Scheme (EAS), Employment Assurance Scheme (EAS), The

    Jawahar Rozgar Yojana (JRY) was merged with Jawahar Gram Samriddhi Yojana (JGSY)

    from 1999-2000 and was made a rural infrastructure programme. The programme was

    merged with Sampoorna Grameen Rozgar Yojana (SGRY) from 2001-02,

    and National Food for Work (NFFWP) [2005]. These wage employment programmes

    implemented by State Governments with Central assistance were self-targeting, and the

    objective was to provide and enhance livelihood security, specially for those dependent on

    casual manual labour. At the State level, the Govt. of Maharashtra formulated the

    Maharashtra Employment Guarantee Scheme and Maharashtra Employment Guarantee Act,

    1977 to provide wage employment to those who demanded it.

    3. NREGA - Giving a statutory framework to wage employment

    programmes

    Based on the experience of these programmes, the National Rural Employment GuaranteeAct (NREGA) was enacted to reinforce the commitment towards livelihood security in rural

    areas. The Act was notified on 7th September, 2005. The significance of NREGA lies in the

    fact that it creates a right- based framework for wage employment programmes and makes

    the Government legally accountable for providing employment to those who ask for it. In this

    way, the legislation goes beyond providing a social safety net towards guaranteeing the right

    to employment.

    4. NREGA ObjectiveThe National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) aims at enhancing the livelihood

    security of the people in rural areas by guaranteeing hundred days of wage employment in a

    financial year, to a rural household whose members volunteer to do unskilled manual work.

    The objective of the Act is to create durable assets and strengthen the livelihood resource

    base of the rural poor. The choice of works suggested in the Act address causes of chronic

    poverty like drought, deforestation, soil erosion, so that the process of employment

    generation is on a sustainable basis works suggested in the Act addresses causes of chronic poverty like drought, deforestation and soil erosion, so that the process of employment

    generation is maintained on a sustainable basis.

    5. NREGA Coverage

    The Act is applicable to areas notified by the Central Government and will cover the whole

    country within 5 years of its notification. In its first phase, it was notified in 200 districts

    across the country5.

    *Administrative expenses as may be determined by the Central Government, which will

    include interalia, the salary and the allowances of the Programme Officer and his supportingstaff, work site facilities.

    *Expenses of the National Employment Guarantee Council.

    The State Government bears the costs on the following items:

    *25% of the cost of material, wages of skilled and semi skilled workers.

    *Unemployment allowance payable in case the State Government cannot provide wage

    employment on time.

    * Administrative expenses of the State Employment Guarantee Council.

    Districts have dedicated accounts for NREGA funds. They have submitted their proposals

    based on clearly delineated guidelines so that funds may be distributed efficiently at each

    level, and adequate funds may be available to respond to demand. Under NREGA, fund

    releases are based on an appraisal of both financial and physical indicators of outcomes.

    8. NREGA - Paradigm Shift

    NREGA marks a paradigm shift from the previous Wage Employment Programmes (WEPs).

    NREGA provides a statutory guarantee of wage employment, that is, it offers a statutory

    base, to wage seekers' application for employment. Employment is dependent upon the

    worker exercising the choice to apply for registration and obtain a Job Card, and then to

    exercise a choice to seek employment through a written application for the time and duration

    that the worker wants. The legal guarantee has to be fulfilled within the time limit prescribed

    and this mandate is underpinned by the provision of unemployment allowance. The Act is

    thus designed to offer an incentive structure to the States for providing employment as ninety

    percent of the cost for employment provided is borne by the Centre, and there is a

    concomitant disincentive for not providing employment if demanded as the States then bear

  • 8/10/2019 sociology project second sem.docx

    12/18

    12

    the double indemnity of unemployment and the cost of unemployment allowance. Earlier

    wage employment programmes were allocation based NREGA is not supply driven but

    demand driven. Resource transfer under NREGA is based on the demand for employment

    and this provides another critical incentive to States to leverage the Act to meet the

    employment needs of the poor. The public delivery system has been made accountable, as it

    envisages an Annual Report on the outcomes of NREGA to be presented by the Central

    Government to the Parliament and to the Legislature by the State Government.

    In total, I was satisfied with the Government Plans and Role in making the villages a

    ideal place for living. Everything was proper, even I talked with the District

    MGNREGA officer, he was also very clear and he showed me everything very crisp

    and clearly.

    CONCLUSION:

    Since fifth five year plan, number of rural employment programmes was implemented in the

    district so as uplift rural poor from below poverty line. Among them some programmes viz

    TRYSEM, IRDP, JRGY, and MGNREG programmes are implemented successfully in the

    district. All these programmes have achieved the targets significantly in the beginning. But

    later the declining trend of these programmes indicates the failure of the administrators in

    implementing all these rural employment generation programmes in the district.
