The Ministry highlighted that, since the scheme's inception, MGNREGS has generated a cumulative 2,923 crore person-days from FY 2014-15 to FY 2024-25, a substantial increase compared to the 1,660 crore person-days created between FY 2006-07 and FY 2013-14.
Citing the program's demand-driven nature, the ministry pointed out that specific employment targets are not pre-set, as states and union territories can request additional labour budgets as needed.
While recent media reports stated a 16 per cent drop in rural employment under MGNREGS for the first half of the current fiscal year, the Ministry attributed this fluctuation to the scheme's adaptability to demand, especially as FY 2024-25 is still ongoing.
In its statement, the Ministry emphasized the role of Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) and Aadhaar-based payments in enhancing transparency.
