NREGA policy of Govt. of India, 100 days job!!! Is it a success to bring up the standard of the neglected poor villagers?

Neither make any efforts to control population nor do anything about employment generation and to add insult dole out public money like their own pocket money and disburse with fancy names.

Story of India- Jai Ho......

Instead of commenting from our air-conditioned rooms, let us go to a village and study the situation. I had been to a place in Krishna District of Andhra Pradesh, at least thrice in the last one year, which predominantly consists of tribals and scheduled caste communities. The parents look forward to their son/daughter attaining the age of 18, so that he can be sent as a agricultural labourer. Another earning member is added to the house ! All my efforts to bring three/four persons to Hyderabad by promising them roti, kapada aur makaan and quality education proved to be futile. Parents are unwilling to send them because the family loses 100 days income.

Over a period of time, India will become a country of labourers and illiterates while the rich and affluent will continue to rule India. Instead of spending crores of rupees on this scheme, we must make education free and compulsory upto 10th standard. Afterwards, it can become free or subsidized with the help of Corporates. If we start the policy in a 2-year period, India will become a Rama Rajya at least after 50 years.

I wish somebody will have a look at the other side of this coin. 

ayan it is true.  NREGA is one of the scheme where politicians can knockoff the funds behind this scheme with fake works.  If we watch closely the indian budgetary system, atleast 20% of the GDP is allotted for this types of schemes where their is lot of scope for stealing the funds with out accountability since it is difficult to audit the expenditure under these schemes.  Ayan what you say if media expose the indian budgetary system in subtle and  design a parallel idle budgetary system for a Financial year and draw a comparison vis-a-vis Govt. budget submitted by the pranab mukherjee  the loops are highlighted &  system will be exposed to some extent to the public. 

well only if corruption is eliminated then only this scheme will be on right track. but corruption is a part of us. so this policy can be a failure. we need true son of INDIA to put the people behind bars with their face off mainly politicians.

Although it is not a success at the moment but the strict vigilance & implementation can sustantially improve the rural- urban divide...and especially the urban migration can be controlled...

I agree with you Ayan. But according to me the Govt of India and Mr Manmohan Singh in perticular is at least looking for the benifit of the poor of this vast country wher one person earns Rs 20/- per day.

To start with there will be loopholes but one can always plug them. I will go upto saying the Sonia Gandhi, Pranab Mukherjee are also equally responsible for the upliftment of the poor in our country.

It is not easy to say, because in India, there are many schemes launched by Govt. time to time. But all we know about the result. If the last performance is the criteria to answer the question then i have doubt to say yes.

Even i heard from many villages where Food are coming for poor people under Food schemes run by center/state Govt. But i am sorry to say that food comes in the places but only in the form of papers and bills.....No food program run in reality. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT? I think We are responsible. And i am still not able to find out the solution. So i don't want to comment more on the topic.

i completely agree with Ayan..given the kind of corruption scenario India has, its very difficult to get the money to the right and deserving hands..unless the whole hierarchy and the people working and involved in NREGA are judged and reviewed, we are going to lose more money than before which will severely affect the economy of the country without any result...100 days of work is fine but the people should be educated first so that they can rightly demand their dues, fight and the bring the matter to the top officials if they are not given what they deserve...so education is the saviour more than all..

No it is total misuse of public money.

This and all other welfare schemes are used by central/state/local governments to siphon off the funds. In many villages across India, everyone registered and living have been bogusly accounted for having working under various schemes and the cash disbursed. The entire money is looted year after year.

Rather government should create lasting assets like schools, colleges, hospitals in every village. Government run hospitals need much to be improved in terms of quantity and quality.
