Collector Umesh Agrawal has asked all the chief executive officers to start all the approved work under MNREGA immediately. He said that the estimates of all works should be prepared immediately to start the work in all panchayats. The Collector expressed annoyance for not providing employment to 200/300 persons in the self off project in gram panchayats. He said that people have to go regularly to schools, anganwadis and health centres. If the roads leading to these places are in a bad condition, they should be renovated or repaired under MNREGA.
He said that the each work being done in the panchayat should be completed before June 15. He told CEOs of Janpad panchayat that if the works approved by agriculture, forest, sericulture and other departments were in progress, as such the CEOs should acquire information about the progress of spot inspection. Such panchayats where works under MNREGA and BRGF (backward region grant fund) are in progress, the muster rolls should properly be maintained.
For gram panchayat, one day should be fixed for Choupal day and the muster rolls of the work should be read out before the villagers compulsorily. The labourers who work for more than 15 days should be provided training for skill development. Similarly, benefits under Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Jivan Jyoti Yojana should be given to the labourers. In all schools work relating to toilet construction and handwash should be completed latest by June 30.
The Collector said that the rates for labour payment for all sorts of construction work should be displayed on the work sites and at gram panchayats. Announcements should be made about the rate of payment made to the labourers. He further said that the projects sanctioned from the legislators and parliamentarian’s funds should be completed soon.
