This has led to several challenges, particularly in adding employees' accounts. We are currently addressing the software issues, and salaries will be disbursed within a few days," he salaries were issued via the MGNREGA REAT (Receipts, Expenditure, Advances, and Transfers) module at administrative costs. Problems arose when the Union govt required salary payments to be processed through the SNA (Single Nodal Account) SPARSH (Samayochit Prannali Integrated Shighra Hastantaran) module as part of the K2 Public Financial Management System software. Technical issues with the software have hindered the proper updating of employee information, causing delays in salary employees have expressed frustration, stating, "The relevant authorities have been taking four months to resolve this issue. As a result, approximately 3,000 MGNREGA employees in the state are currently without their salaries."The situation is worsened by unfulfilled promises. Although the state govt committed in last year's budget to offer health insurance, this benefit has not yet been realised. Employees are now demanding an immediate solution to the software issues impacting salary payments and the rollout of the promised health insurance programme.
