Representative image of a labourer at work in Rajasthan. Photo: Eric Parker/Flickr (CC BY-NC 2.0) Real journalism holds power accountable Since 2015, The Wire has done just that. But we can continue only with your support. Contribute now New Delhi: Despite the Union government's consistent efforts to underplay the primacy of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, a report by Indian Express finds that the Ministry of Rural Development has sought an increased outlay – of Rs 5.23 lakh crore – for the scheme for five years until 2029-30. The report makes public findings from the rural development ministry's May 15 proposal to the Expenditure Finance Committee, that functions under the finance ministry and appraises all government schemes and projects. The report says that the outlay for five years till 2029-2030 is nearly 12% higher than the Union government's release of Rs 4.68 lakh crore for MGNREGS during the previous five financial years, from 2020-2021 to 2024-2025. In the Union Budget 2025, the Narendra Modi government allocated Rs 86,000 crore to the United Progressive Alliance-era scheme – the same amount as what was spent on the scheme as per the Revised Estimate of 2024-2025. Rs 86,000 crore is also the exact amount that was promised in the Union Budget of 2024-25, presented in July, 2024, after the National Democratic Government came back to power. The Wire has reported earlier how in an indication of fresh economic strain in rural India, demand for unskilled work under the MGNREGS has seen an increase in April and May this year, according to the data from the same rural development ministry. As many as 20.12 million rural households were among those who sought employment under the scheme in April. The figure slightly increased to 20.37 million in May, till the 18th of the month. The Express report notes that release of funds under the scheme had peaked at Rs 1,09,810 crore in 2020-21, the first full year after COVID-19 outbreak. A record 7.55 crore rural families availed themselves of the scheme. The report also quoted sources in the government as having said that the EFC appraisal and approval is part of government's exercise to evaluate and approve its schemes for the next Finance Commission cycle. The MGNREGS is backed by law and therefore the EFC approval is 'just a formality,' the report said. The ministry's outlay is also subject to change, sources told the paper.

Celebrate the ‘Year of good governance' on June 4: Pawan Kalyan
Vijayawada: Andhra Pradesh is set to celebrate a significant milestone on June 4, marking one year since the ousting of the YSRCP regime and the establishment of the coalition government. This period, dubbed by the ruling alliance as a year of 'Good governance' and 'Relief from a nightmare,' will be commemorated with festivities reminiscent of Sankranti and Diwali. Jana Sena Party supremo Pawan Kalyan has called upon party leaders, Veer Mahilas (women's wing), and cadres to celebrate this auspicious occasion. The party's central office has issued directives for widespread digital campaigns across social media platforms to promote the celebrations. On the morning of June 4 under the theme, 'A year since good governance began,' party members are encouraged to adorn their doorways with traditional Rangoli designs. Rangoli competitions for women will also be organised. In the evening, to signify 'A year since the nightmare ended,' participants are urged to light lamps and set off firecrackers, much like Diwali. Visuals of these celebrations are to be posted on social media, clearly communicated to all cadres. The NDA government, formed under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Centre and Nara Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan in the State, is now completing its first year of what it terms as 'Good governance.' This upcoming celebration aims to highlight this transition and the positive changes experienced by the people of Andhra Pradesh.
