MNREGA adding jobs, but few benefitting

MGNREGA has generated 3.59 cr person-days of work in the country in the financial year 2020-21. An overwhelming chunk of work can be attributed to the nine days since April 20 when the scheme resumed following the nationwide lockdown. However, it has provided jobs to just around 49 lakh people. In stark contrast, April 2019 generated 91 lakh person-days of work.
