More than 42 lakh man days of work were created in Mysuru district under MGNREGA as against the target of 34 lakh man days.
This was stated by the Mysuru Zilla Panchayat CEO .A.M. Yogish on Wednesday. He said the district has registered tremendous progress in implementing MGNREGA and creating jobs in rural areas and the progress was 120 per cent against the target.
Mr. Yogish was speaking at a function organized by MGNREGA Workers Welfare Association at Talkadu in T.Narsipur taluk and said that the programme was a boon to the rural communities and ensured jobs and livelihood opportunities. He said many works were taken up to create more jobs during the pandemic so as to provide a lifeline to the rural community. The challenge to create more jobs also stemmed from the reverse migration that took place from urban areas to rural areas during the pandemic.
