ISSUES

SOME IMPORTANT ISSUES FLAGGED

No worksite photo uploaded on the website

Photographs of the workers not uploaded on the worksite

MIS shows only 46.6% of the registered workers as having accounts Is it for the fact that accounts are single in

the household whereas there are multiple workers?

SOME IMPORTANT ISSUES FLAGGED

13 works are shown as incomplete from 2009-10 or even before that

12 works taken up in 2010-11 are still shown as incomplete

34 works taken up during 2011-12 are incomplete as yet

Majority of material payment is in cash (as high as Rs. 80.92 lakh material payment is shown to be in cash whereas cheue payment is to the tune of Rs. 18.33 lakh only

SOME IMPORTANT ISSUES FLAGGED There are 98 works where no expenditure has

been entered in the MIS for the last 4 months 6277 households have worked for less than 15

days 171 households have completed 100 days of work

in the current financial year There is no RSBY registration of NREGA workers as

yet There are only 700 households among the

households worked so far for 15 days or more whose status is marked as BPL

SWOT Analysis

STRENGTHS

Equal registration of male and female workers

High registration of SC, ST households Very good women participation in

labour force High access of SC and ST households to

work Some good schemes implemented

WEAKNESSES

5609 households (47.19 percent) have been provided work for less than 15 days

Poor BPL marking in MIS No photo uploading No RSBY convergence Very little variation in schemes Monitoring deficient

OPPORTUNITIES

Widening of the shelf of schemes by the Ministry of Rural Development

Renewed focus at the State level on convergent activities

Tea Gardens opening up to NREGS

THREATS

Urban / peri-urban nature of most of the area

Male members of the households accessing relatively more paying employment opportunities

Problem of working in Tea garden areas Limited scope of earth work
