Problems Facing during Implementation of NREGS
1) In the months of rainy season and paddy cultivation season, attendances in NREGA works are very poor. As a result, the mandays generated works are hampering and mandays generation is also shows poor figures.
2) The reason behind poor demand of work is also for the lower daily wage rate of NREGA. It seems that the wage rate of public unskilled work for man and woman is Rs.100/- and Rs.125/- respectively in the district, where in case of NREGA, it was Rs.65/-, Rs.71/- and currently Rs.85/- only which is not justified with increasing price-hike of essential commodities.
3) In case of opening of Bank/PO accounts for wage earners of NREGA, problems facing are – i) Lack of employees, so that un-interesting attitude from Bank/POs, most POs of the villages running with one-employee set-up. ii) In some ADC areas of Blocks like Hrishyamukh etc., Bank/PO branches are in distance of more than 3kms from the villages. iii) There are many illiterate job card holders in rural areas who may face problems in opening of accounts as well as withdrawal of wages. iv) Peoples of rural areas are commonly bought their weekly essential commodities from the local market (“haat”) and on that particular day (“haatbar”) weekly payments are generally made to NREGA Workers. Payment through cheque will struck in their weekly routine and will also take time to cash the cheque which may also hamper the attendance of their working period of NREGA works.
4) In works where maximum workers are women, evaluation result shows less output in comparison to expectation.
5) Where the persons more than 60 years are working, shows less output even in comparison to women workers in evaluation report.
6) Fund transfer rate from DRDA to GP accounts takes a long time, sometimes it transfer after a month also. On this issue, several times meetings were also held but all the times due to shortage of employees and proper infrastructure facility, the venture of minimization of times became failed. But they are trying to make it success from 2008-09.
7) In NREGA guide line project cost ratio for permissible works are given but during the implementation of works, the scheduled ratios for some works like rural connectivity, flood-control and protection works etc. shows fluctuation in ratio.
- 16 -
Some Probable Ways to come-out from the Problems
To come out from the problems, the following measures may be taken up: 1) The wage rate of NREGA wage earners should be increased at least 25% of the current rate depending on the gradual increase in price of essential commodities.
2) If the work category for women and aged persons are identified separately, the puzzlement on output of evaluation report may be overcome.
3) Fund transfer procedure from DRDA to GP account should be speed up. The fund must be transferred to destination within 2-3 days.
4) In case of accidental benefits, the grants may be increased in a justified ratio depending on the mode of accident.
5) There should be a tolerance level in project cost ratio for permissible works given in NREGA guide line.

Success Stories of NREGA in South Tripura District during the Year 2007- 08
a. History of South Tripura District:
The South Tripura District with its headquarter at Udaipur was created in 1970. Udaipur is popularly known as the city of lakes and was the capital of Tripura till 1760 A.D. The city is famous for Mata Tripura Sundari Temple which is situated about 3 km away from Udaipur at Matabari. The temple is one of the 51 Mahapithasthans of India. The legend is that toe of the right foot of Mata Sati fell, as a result of the cutting of the body of Mata Sati into pieces by Sudarsan Chakra of Lord Vishnu.
b. Location & Geography:
The State of Tripura lies approximately between the lattitudes 22 degrees 56 minutes, and 24 degrees 32 minutes North and between longitudes 91 degrees 0 minutes and 92 degrees 22 minutes East. South Tripura District is situated approximately between East longitude 91 degrees 18 minutes and 91 degrees 59 minutes and between North lattitude 22 degres 56 minutes and 23 degrees 45 minutes. The South Tripura District is bounded on the North by Dhalai district and West Tripura District, while on the other sides by international border with Bangladesh. The total geographical area of South Tripura District is 2624 Sq. Km. which is about 25% of the total state area.
District Total Area 2624.35 Sq. KM Latitude 22 56 to 24 32 Longitude 91 59 to 92 22 Total Forest Land 1251.93 Sq. KM
c. Socio-Cultural Setup
About 37.5% of the population in South Tripura Disrtrict is scheduled tribe and 17.16% of the population is scheduled caste. Major tribes in the district are: Tripuri, Jamatia, Reang, Chakma and Halam. The tribals as well as the non-tribals residing in the District have a socio-cultural similarity with the tribals and non-tribals of Bangladesh. Language spoken by majority of the population is Bengali while the tribals mainly speak Kakborak.
- 18 - d. Economic Activity:
Agriculture is the main occupation. However, only 31.61% of the land in the district is cultivable. The holdings are small, and agriculture is mainly rainfed and at subsistence level. The State Government has set before itself a target of attaining self-sufficiency in food production by 2010 A.D. As a result of this, a number of activities are undertaken these days to bring more land under cultivation, make them irrigable and increase the productivity. A large population however is daily labourer, which depends on the employment generation schemes of the Government. As a result of weak economic base and lack of industrial development and entrepreneurship, dependency on the Government is very high. An analysis of occupational structure in the District shows that about 12.6% are cultivators, 8-9% are agricultural labourers and 1.61% are dependent on trade and commerce. The non-working population is about 68% which is an indication of the weak economic base and under-development. About 72% of the rural population are living below poverty line. Paddy is the main food crop grown. Potato, sugarcane, mesta, jute, mustard, etc. are some other crops grown in the district. Tea, coffee, rubber, jackfruit, banana, mango, pineapple, etc. are the major plantation crops. e. District Administration
The South Tripura District Administration at the Udaipur Town of Udaipur Sub- division is headed by the District Magistrate and Collector (DM & Collector) and assisted by the Additional District The basic objectives of the Act is to enhance livelihood security in rural area 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.
