He said that due care should be taken so that the benefit of these percolates to the targeted and genuine beneficiaries.

He stressed on taking up tangible works like construction of pacca-path, foot bridges, plantation, water harvesting tanks, p-work and other construction works and added that more focus should be laid on taking up such works in convergence with other departments so that a pool of resources is created that could be utilized for creating durable assets.

While asking for dovetailing the implementation of MGNREGA with a scheme of other departments through convergence, Saroori asked the officers to prepare comprehensive Detail Project Reports (DPRs) well in time before the start of the next financial year and all modalities of the expenditure on the labour part would be provided out of the MGNREGA funds. He said that by doing so we would be broadening the ambit of this flagship programme so that more people get benefitted from it. “The quarterly review of the implementation of convergence projects under MGNREGA should be done and officers of different department should work in synergized and coordinated manner so that the bottlenecks if any are removed”, Saroori added.
