The Human Rights Forum (HRF) and the LibTech, a research organisation focusing on issues of public service delivery, are extremely concerned about the large number of deletions of the job cards and names of workers in Andhra Pradesh under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) during the year 2022-23.
These deletions have resulted in a deprivation of the right to work of the people in the rural and tribal areas.
A three-member team of the HRF and LibTech visited three villages — Chintalapadu and Balesu in Gummalakshmipuram mandal and Duribili in Kurupam mandal of Parvathipuram Manyam district on August 19 to understand the ground reality.
