Title: "Farm Labourers Told to Derive Benefits from MNREGS"
Introduction:
Ever since its inception, the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGS) has been a boon for poor rural villagers, providing steady employment and a reliable source of income. O Anand, the District Collector of LiveNellore, recently visited the ongoing Canal Silt Removal Works (CSRW) being conducted under the MNREGS at Nagula Devi Gunta village of Alluru mandal and interacted with the local farm labourers.
The primary purpose of this interaction was to address the issues faced by the labourers, such as delayed payment of wages and discrimination in work allocation. During this visit, the Collector advised the farmers to make use of the scheme to secure their livelihoods. He also stressed the importance of acquiring an Aadhaar card, which will soon be mandatory according to the scheme's guidelines.
Body:
The Collector also took the time to inspect the Divakar Reddy Housing Layout, currently being established on 12 acres of land in the village. He enquired about the infrastructure facilities, and the residents informed him that despite the completion of their housing structures, they were unable to move in due to the lack of a drinking water facility. In response, the Collector ordered the concerned officials to take immediate steps to provide a solution to this issue.
On a surprise visit to the BC Welfare hostel in Allur mandal, the Collector enquired with the students about the facilities provided and even joined them for lunch.
Conclusion:
In light of these visits and interactions, the Collector advised farm labourers to utilize the MNREGS scheme to secure employment and not to worry about their economic stability as the scheme guarantees work for those who use it properly. He also ensured that infrastructural deficiencies in the village and hostel will be handled promptly. This initiative by the District Collector reflects the government's ongoing commitment to improve the lives of rural communities by providing guaranteed rural employment and prompting officials to promptly address infrastructural issues.
