Hai,
Off late one can see some news coming in about Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Scheme (MGNRES) popularly know as 100 days work. It seems Rural people have earned a lot, but it is not the case originally, only few villagers have earned but the correct position is different. People can go to nearby village to get the right picture, that too the villages near towns or cities. Actual scheme is designed to give farm labors support during summer when agriculture is not done. But the scheme is used the other way by giving jobs to farm labors for entire year (one member of the family 100 days if a family has 4 members x 100). Sometimes even same people get jobs with a break of 100 days.i.e a cycle after they have completed 100 days work. The quality of job is not good and the amount (tax paid by working class) is wasted. Thus farmers are losing interest for want of labors. Agriculture is the only sector where we don`t get labors. This is the only sector where unskilled labors can get wages without much risk for life. This type of mishandling of the scheme is done in most of the villages.
This in turn starts the chain reaction of rise in price, instability in government, Recession,poverty robbery and all other types of illegal activities. It is good to raise the grade in rural areas but not by bringing down farmers.
Will tax payers make a note of it and request the government to reschedule this scheme.
Only time can tell.
