NEW DELHI: Dismissing reports that enrolment under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme ( MGNREGS ) is going down, rural development ministry Sunday said it is not possible to fix targets for total enrolment in the demand-driven scheme as the financial year is still going on.
"Since MGNREGS is a demand-driven scheme and current FY is still ongoing, hence, it is not possible to fix an exact target of person days generation. However, states/UTs can send proposals for labour budget revision as per the locally felt needs," the ministry said in a statement, adding, "The total person days generated between FY 2006-07 to FY 2013-14 were 1,660 crore, whereas the total person days between FY 2014-15 to FY 2024-25 has been 2,923 crore."
On direct benefit transfer (DBT) and Aadhaar seeding , the ministry said, "As on Oct 26, Aadhaar seeding has been done for 13.1 crore active workers, which is 99.3% of total active workers (13.18 crore)."
