Hello and welcome to ExamPundit. Here is a set of Reading Comprehension for RBI Assistant 2015.
The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act
(MGNREGA) is the best job guarantee scheme of India. the Mahatma Gandhi
National rural employment guarantee act is designed to provide job guarantee
for at least 100 days in rural parts of the country. Through this scheme , all
the adult members ( at least 18 years of age) of family in rural part of the
country are given non-skilled work. The Mahatma Gandhi Nationwide Non-urban
Career Assurance Act (MGNREGA) is an Indian job guarantee program, presented by
regulation on Aug 25, 2005 The program provides a legal guarantee and ensure livelihood security in rural
areas by providing at least 100 days of guaranteed wage employment in a
financial year to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work. MGNREGA act was presented
with an aim of helping the buying power of the rural individuals; mainly
partial or un-skilled perform to individuals living in rural parts of the
country, whether or not they are below the hardship line. About one-third of
the predetermined workforce is women. The law was originally known as the
Nationwide Non-urban Career Assurance Act (or NREGA) but was relabelled in
2009. In the year of 2011, the program was commonly criticized as no more
effective than other hardship decrease programs in the country of India.
Regardless of its finest objectives, popular MGNREGA is beset with debate about damaged authorities, lack funding as the
source of resources, low quality of facilities designed under this program, and
random dangerous impact on hardship. The statement of the law provides adequate
safeguards to promote its effective management and implementation. The act explicitly mentions the principles and
agencies for implementation, list of allowed works, financing pattern,
monitoring and evaluation, and most importantly the detailed measures to ensure
transparency and accountability. Further the provisions of the law adhere to the principles enunciated in
the Constitution of India. The comprehensive assessment of the performance of
the law by the constitutional auditor revealed serious lapses arising mainly
due to lack of public awareness, mismanagement and institutional incapacity.
The CAG also suggests a list of recommendations to the government for
corrective measures. The government, however, had also released a collection of
reportedly independent researches evaluating the functioning of the act whose
results significantly differed from the CAG report. Meanwhile, the social
audits in two Indian states highlight the potential of the law if implemented
effectively.
