Analysis
A.   Since last five years (from 2011-12 to 2015-16), the State Govt.  has generated 6  crores of man-days  under NREGA   in an average in a year. How the State Govt. generated 4 crores  man-days  within 4 months. It means one crore in a month. It is just data manipulation  of the figure  showing record number of mandays generated by Govt.
B.    It  has also been found  in different districts  from Puri to Malkangiri  that  the NREGA labourers  are  not paid  their  dues  for  months  together, though the work  gets  completed.
