The Members then stood in silence for short while. ...(BªÉ´ÉvÉÉxÉ) 11.02 hrs. At this stage Shri Ramashanker Rajbhar and some other hon. Members came and stood on the floor near the Table. ...(BªÉ´ÉvÉÉxÉ) 11.03 hrs. MADAM SPEAKER: Question Hour. Question no. 281. Shri Ajay Kumar. … (Interruptions) 13.12.2012 9 (Q.281) SHRI AJAY KUMAR : I want to ask the hon. Rural Development Minister as to whether he is considering how to educate the public regarding the distribution of pucca work and kutcha work.… (Interruptions) +ÉvªÉFÉ àÉcÉänªÉÉ: +ÉÉ{É ºÉ£ÉÉÒ +É{ÉxÉÉÒ-+É{ÉxÉÉÒ ºÉÉÒ]弃 {É® ´ÉÉ{ÉºÉ VÉÉAÆ* ...(BªÉ´ÉvÉÉxÉ) SHRI AJAY KUMAR: One of the problems for the NREGA work is that the 60:40 per cent ratio is not known to the villagers. … (Interruptions) I would request the hon. Minister if the Government is considering some programme to educate the Gram Panchyat and the village so that the pucca work in the village can come up to 40 per cent.… (Interruptions) Today the Government has given a ratio of 60:40 per cent. But, in reality the pucca work is less than 10 per cent. … (Interruptions) I would request the Minister if they can educate all the Panchyats through posters and through modules as to what work can be done under the pucca work like naali, pond cementing, tarred wall on the pond, making roads, pavement blocks on the roads. So, I would request the hon. Minister if he could timely consider this or whether the Government will consider this opinion. … (Interruptions) +ÉvªÉFÉ àÉcÉänªÉÉ: ªÉc +ÉÉ{É BÉDªÉÉ BÉE® ®cä cé, BÉßE{ɪÉÉ ¤Éè~ VÉÉAÆ* ...(BªÉ´ÉvÉÉxÉ) SHRI JAIRAM RAMESH: Under the MGNREGA, the 60:40 ratio is maintained at the Gram Panchayat level. There was some ambiguity on whether it is maintained at the project level or district level. The 60:40 ratio of wage to material is maintained at the Gram Panchayat level. The priority for works under MGNREGA is determined by the Gram Panchayat from the schedule of works that is permissible under MGNREGA. … (Interruptions) 13.12.2012 10 Now, regarding the hon. Member’s question relating to educating the villagers of the type of works that have to be undertaken, the schedule of works has already been laid out very clearly under MGNREGA. It is available to the Gram Panchayat and we would make it entirely possible for people to know what type of works have to be undertaken. … (Interruptions) The problem is that in some States authority has not been fully devolved to the Gram Panchayat and Panchayat institutions, and Jharkhand is one of those States.… (Interruptions) 11.07 hrs. At this stage Shri Ganesh Singh and some other hon. Members came and stood on the floor near the Table. … (Interruptions) SHRI AJAY KUMAR: I would request the hon. Minister to put up a time-bound schedule … (Interruptions) to educate Gram Pradhans. I would request the Minister to put up a work schedule and a sample for the District Project Officer and NREGA. Every district should create a template. The District Project Officer for MGNREGA projects should create a template of what work can be done in every village. That is not difficult. So, I would request the Minister through you to give instructions to State Governments that they would create a module from which each village will know how much of naali, how much of road, how much of labour they can do. … (Interruptions) SHRI JAIRAM RAMESH: There are Rozgar Sewaks. It is the job and responsibility of the Rozgar Sewaks to provide all the information on type of works that can be taken up under NREGA. However, if there are some limitations and inadequacies in this programme, I assure the hon. Member that we would certainly look into it and ensure that full information is available at the level of the village, particularly on the type of works that can be undertaken under MGNREGA. … (Interruptions) 13.12.2012 11 11.09 hrs. At this stage Shri Shailendra Kumar and some other hon.
