Implementation
of MGNREGA in Odisha- A Disaster
(Bulletin-2)
Inadequate
Human Resource Management
Dear friends
As per the guidelines, a society for MGNREGS ( Mahatma Gandhi
National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme) was formed ( February 2007) with four thematic experts, four specialists,
four programme Manager, six programme associates, four programme assistants and
six social audit managers. Similarly,
the Govt. also declared that one
additional Programme Officer (APIO), Computer Assistant, Account Assistant, two
MGNREGS Assistants ( MgA) were to be appointed
for smooth implementation of the
scheme at Panchayat Samiti level. One Gram
Rozgar Sewak (GRS) and Gram Panchayat Technical Assistant (GPTA) were to be appointed at GP level.
CAG has audited ( 2012 to 2017) details of
steps taken by Govt. in respect of appointment of
personnel which are required to enforce
implementation of NREGA in
Odisha. It was observed that MGNREGS society was functioning with deficient manpower as 14 out of
28 required officials were not appointed . There was no Assistant
Computer programmer in 40 PSs, no GRS in 688 GPs and only one MGNREGS Assistant
in 192 PSs against the requirement of two. As all the above mentioned posts are contractual, the
officials getting better employment opportunity leave the job.
Maintenance of MGNREGS accounts, grievance redressal, on-line
entry of muster roll, verification and issue of Job Cards were not carried
out as per the prescribed procedure. The
reason is dfailure of Government to provide adequate manpower at the state
and unit level. Because of it, the overall performance of the scheme suffered
in the state without yielding any
tangible results.
