MGNREGS Revamp


MGNREGS is a money guzzler. In this helicopter money scheme all is going waste. Better thing would be to provide income supplement to villagers/sub-urban dwellers via-aadhaar linked methods. What is needed is registration of labour contractors. Just expand the MGNREGS to any job that any organization wants done. Track the payments the organization makes to the person and supplement the income by suitable percentages. The theme or goal here should be to encourage people to stay employed no matter how menial the income. Organizations will be more than happy to keep their employees as they need to pay less. This way govt can partner with the employment providers and create a win win situation for all by better tracking of money flows and income. Enablers and a key requirement would be electronic payments of salaries and wages all across the country.
