  • VIII. Mandays generated under NREGA programme
  • It was found that an average of 26.5 mandays
    was generated under NREGA in Mon District, 44
    mandays in Wokha district, 37 mandays in
    Kohima district and only 9.5 mandays was
    generated under NREGA in Mokokchung district.
    Thus an average of 29.25 Mandays only was
    generated under NREGA out of a target of 100
    Mandays in these selected districts. However at
    the state level an average of 22.391 man days
    were generated in the year 2008-09 till February
    2009 for a total number of 291938 house-holds.

11
  • IX Monitoring and Vigilance
  • The status of monitoring and vigilance in
    the selected district was found satisfactory.
    NREGA work are being monitored by the competent
    personnels and these activities are also being
    inspected and verified periodically.

12
  • X. Types of activities undertaken
  • Construction of Agri link road was the main
    activity comprising about 44 per cent, followed
    by construction and maintenance of village
    approach comprising about 31 per cent and
    construction of foot steps which constituted
    about 6 per cent of the total activities under
    taken under these four districts. The remaining
    19 per cent of the activities included
    construction of irrigation canal 4 per cent,
    horticultural farming 3 per cent, construction of
    fishery ponds, culvert, terracing, soiling and
    metalling each comprising 2 per cent.
    Construction of check dam, protection wall, tree
    plantation and well constituted 1 per cent of the
    total activities.

13
  • XI. Social Audit
  • Process of social audit was found
    satisfactory. On an average three to five members
    constituted the committee for social audit
    comprising, members form church, school teacher,
    youth leaders etc. Social audit was done
    periodically and a copy of the audit was made
    available to the project team by the concerned
    BDOs.

14
  • XII. Flow of Fund
  • Flow of fund from state government to the village
    is quick and efficient. VDB secretary receives
    fund from the BDOs through cheque which is en
    cashed in a public sector bank through the
    savings account opened specially for this
    purpose. However flow of fund from the central
    government is not smooth in certain districts due
    to non submission of MPR in time or MPR not
    prepared in accordance to the guidelines by the
    MORD. Maintenance of Receipt and Expenditure
    account for NREGA at village level was found well
    managed.
  • Total fund received under NREGA for the state in
    the year 2008-09 till February 2009 was 13161.278
    lakhs out of which 10834.648 lakhs have been
    already utilized.

15
  • XIII. Benefits of NREGA perceived by the
    respondents
  • Has generated additional mandays thereby
    increasing employment opportunities at the
    village level.
  • Has created durable assets in the village.
  • Has been helpful in providing additional income
    and employment in lean seasons.
  • Equal opportunity of wage income has been
    facilitated for both men and women.
  • Better rural connectivity ushered.
  • Have made transportation of goods and services
    easier, including transporting farm implements to
    the farm.

16
  • Has improved the socio economic conditions of the
    rural community.
  • Resulted in social and economic empowerment of
    the rural poor and excluded groups of the
    society.
  • Promoted the health and nutritional security of
    the rural people.
  • Assured additional income per year.
  • Discrimination in wage payment in case of women
    abolished.
  • Transparency in the system of work has increased
    considerably.
  • Helped considerably in enriching the process of
    social capital formation.

17
  • XIV. Problems faced in implementing NREGA
  • Work is not available when it is demanded by
    the job card holders due to non availability of
    fund or due to present social structure and
    dimentions.
  • Higher wages to the tune of Rs 350 to 450 are
    being paid for other skilled labour oriented jobs
    in the villages. Therefore, sometimes card
    holders are unwilling to do NREGA work.
  • VDB officials are burdened with the paper work
    without incentives. This may lead to
    misutilisation of fund in the long run.
  • Wage payment to the Job Card holders are paid in
    cash which should have been done through cheque
    or savings account in bank. However, at present
    21 R. D. Blocks out of 52 R. D. Blocks in the
    state does not have any bank.
  • Mandatory demand of work for 14 days in one
    stretch sometimes deprives Job Card holders to
    avail other short period employment opportunity
    with higher wages.
  • Smooth flow of fund is also a limiting factor for
    reduced level of mandays generated per year.
  • Due to poor internet connectivity, a great
    difficulty is being experienced in the job of MIS
    reporting.

18
  • XV. Suggestions
  • In Nagaland , there are many jobless families
    who totally depend on their daily wages for their
    livelihood. Therefore the present wage amount of
    Rs. 100 should be enhanced to a minimum Rs.150
    which may be at par with the existing situation.
  • In this era of information technology IT,
    computers and digital cameras may be provided to
    the VDBs of every village, for efficient
    monitoring and timely recording of NREGA related
    datas.
  • Suitable incentives should be given to the VDB
    officials.

19
  • Due to difficult terrain and topography of the
    land in Nagaland use of machinery may be allowed
    for limited and justified purpose only.
  • Gram Rozgar Sahayak was not found in any of the
    selected districts under present study. Therefore
    they should be appointed at the earliest in every
    village, for better implementation of the NREGA
    work.
  • The paper works related to NREGA should be
    simplified to avoid difficulty in proper
    maintenance of the records by the village
    leaders.
  • Locally available materials may be allowed for
    NREGA work due to transportation and other local
    problems.

20
  • More trainings should be incorporated for human
    resource development.
  • In Nagaland, female / male members of the family
    separate themselves from the combined family just
    after marriage. Thus increase in number of
    nuclear family should be taken care of by timely
    availability of the job cards.
  • The top priority of work under NREGA in Nagaland
    has been given to rural connectivity in the form
    of construction of village approach road, Agri
    link road etc. Therefore, state department of
    Rural Development, Government of Nagaland should
    incorporate justified enhanced projection of
    labour budget for rapid development of the rural
    and remote areas in Nagaland.
  • A small fund may be earmarked for the maintenance
    of the assets created under NREGA.
