MGNREGA’s future ‘uncertain’ due to underfunding: Congress
Speaking about Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA), Congress' Jairam Ramesh said the scheme, which once served as a lifeline for rural families, now faces an uncertain future. He pointed out that MNREGA's budget has remained unchanged for the past three years despite rising inflation. Ramesh added that payments are often delayed, leaving workers unpaid for months.
