Andhra Pradesh has done well in MGNREGA implementation, showcasing a remarkable 18.9% increase in person-days generated during the fiscal year 2023-24 compared to the same period in FY 2022-23, according to a report by the research group LibTech India released, in Visakhapatnam, on October 26.
The report highlighted the ideal alignment of MGNREGA with the workers’ demand, emphasising on key indicators such as the number of households employed and workdays generated. Despite the Central government’s stringent control over the Budget allocations and variations in political will and administrative capacities across States, Andhra Pradesh stands out with a significant positive trajectory.
The encouraging trend commences at the grassroots level, witnessing a significant recovery in the number of households worked.
