Assets creation, Up-gradation and Maintenance: Review of Progress of MGNREGA through 2007-2008 to 2012-2013 (Yogesh Kumar, Joint Director, Institute of Applied Manpower Research, Planning Commission, Govt of India)

Introduction Huge number of assets has been created under the NREGS. It has become imperative to ascertain whether the

assets created under NREGS are productive, durable and useful to the community. Enhancing sustainable

livelihood security to the rural poor through creation of durable productive assets, especially in the agriculture

based economy, is the very prime objective MNREGA for the revival of rural economy (Kumar, 2012). The author

further states that as the schemes are being implemented throughout the rural India, the magnitude of lives that will

be touched by it is inevitably massive.

Padhi (CRD, 2013) finds that the NREGS has the potential to transform the rural economy. Evidently, the NREGS

is already making a difference to the lives of millions of people. A comprehensive assessment of the National Rural

Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), Delhi,(2008) stated

that the scheme has huge potential for regenerating the village economy in India, but only if its focus remains on

the creation of productive assets. CAG (Comptroller and Auditor General) recently (2013) have quashed upon

severe lapses in MGNREGA – government cherished flagship programme (see Notes) in creation of durable and

sustainable assets while UNDP (2013) praised the outcomes of the programme (see Notes).

Magsaysay award winner Deep Joshi believes that NREGA should actually be used for assets creation on all lands.

In the above perspectives, the present paper reviews the programme making year by year and state by state

assessments. The years and period under review is 2008-09 to 2012-13 (when the scheme was extended to all the

districts and States of the country.

Nine major types of works being carried out under MG-NREGA are: 1 - Flood Control, 2 - Rural Connectivity, 3 -

Water Conservation and Water Harvesting, 4 - Renovation of Traditional Water Bodies, 5 - Drought Proofing, 6 -

Irrigation Canals, 7 - Irrigation Facilities to SC/ST/IAY/LR, 8 - Land development, and 9 - Other Works. Analysis is

carried out covering 20 major states of India.).

The pattern followed is growth over years in different types of Infrastructure development works (CAGR), change in

percentage share of type of works over years in a state, and change in state share (state share compared to all

India share of the work).

Primary activities in rural areas in India are roller and coaster to survival for almost entire populace of Rural India

and about 60 per cent of country’s populace. The activities and works taken up under MG-NREGA have been

designed looking into the aspect and is so a demand based drive – demand emerging from the rural general people

themselves. Water provision, harvesting and conservation thus assume and draw largest proportion of works and

expenditure under the scheme. Paper attempts to dwell upon a critical temporal review of individual and community

oriented works in the states in rural areas most of activities in rural areas

Findings at a Glance Concentration of Assets Creation works: Inter- state variations A comparison of scheme’s relative concentration (percentage of works under a scheme in the state compared with

percentage of works under the same scheme in the country) in a state and changes over years in the relative

concentration of the different schemes provide important hunches on

1. Changing importance of the schemes 2. Relative importance of the works in a state 3. State wise most prominent and least prominent activities in different years A.

sections closely followed by Haryana and Uttarakhand. In fact in 2008-09 ten states had less than 10 percent of

concentration vis-à-vis all-India. The number of states having less than 0.10 percent of concentration vis-à-vis all-

India declined however to 6 states in 2009-10, went up to 7 states in 2010-11. Again in 2011-12, six states had had

higher concentration. In 2010-11, 2011-12, and 2012-13 Karnataka had reasonably higher concentrations with

increasing tendencies of Coefficient of Localisation. Chhattisgarh too had higher and still higher concentration

levels in last two years 20111-12 and 2012-13.

Tamil Nadu on the other hand had little presence of Land Development activity in all these years. The only other

Relative importance of the schemes and activities are mostly consistent throughout the period 2008 to 2013 in

different states as is visible from above table. Table, however, indicates vividly that states vary . 2. Trend Analysis :

Total number of irrigation works taken up and completed in last five years (2008-09 to 2012-13) have been

13367585 (1 crore 33 lakhs 67 thousand 5 hundred and 85) of which 51 lakhs 31 thousand 3 hundred and 31 are

individual household based). Total amount spent on creation/ regeneration/ repairing of these old ponds is

371,000,490,000 (37100 crores) of which expenditure on individual works is 6547.75 crores) (Source: compiled

from MIS reports of MG-NREGA).

The points worth looking into then are:

1. What has been the impact of these works and expenditure incurred in assuring sustenance of benefits:

a. How much area is added in irrigation in the country as a whole b. How many resources are re-created

Associated points have been

2. States level and local level impacts of the works

a. What has been the impact on capacity building of Villages, villagers and state

Findings with respect to Irrigation Works over years across states: Dhananjaya and Prathibha (2011) emphasized on the aspect that for MGNREGA to realize its potential, it must

focus on raising the productivity of agriculture in India’s most backward regions. UNDP too (2013) too have

appreciated the efforts of MGREGA in creation of assets whereby people have switched over to alternative jobs

(see Notes)

However, for MGNREGA to realise its potential, it must focus on raising the productivity of agriculture in India’s

most backward regions. This can then lead further to the creation of allied livelihoods on the foundation of water

security.

Decline in total works pertaining to irrigation was found in eight states whereas lesser number of individual works

were found to be taken up in eleven states in 2012-13 compared to 2008-09 or 2009-Compared to it, overall

expenditure on works pertaining to irrigation has declined in none of the states while expenditure on individualistic

works has declined in only two states.

A study of comparative growth rates of states was made. It was aimed as to see what has occurred over the years :

whether individualistic and beneficiary oriented works have taken precedence over the years or generalised and

community level works have taken precedence.

What about expenditure patterns: what have been the expenditure growth patterns of individualistic schemes as

against community and mass schemes?

A comparison of the growths in number of schemes vis-à-vis expenditure growths were also looked into. CAGR: Overall (Community and individual works combined) number of Works vs. Individual works

1. CAGR of individual works was higher in states of AP, Assam, Haryana, HP, Jharkhand, Kerala, MP,

Maharashtra, West Bengal and Uttarakhand.

2. It was (CAGR of individual works) though higher but not that significant in Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Orissa,

Rajasthan and UP.

3. CAGR of individual works was less than CAGR of overall works in Bihar and Gujarat

4. It was (CAGR of individual works) was negative compared to CAGR of overall works (which was positive) in

states of Punjab and Tamil Nadu

CAGR: Expenditure on Community and individual works combined vs. Expenditure on Individual works

1. CAGR for Expenditure on individual works was found to be much higher compared to CAGR for overall

works in states of Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Uttarakhand

2. CAGR for Expenditure on individual works was found to be less compared to CAGR for overall works in

some states. But there was found to be two classes of these states depicted below:

a. In states of Assam, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Orissa, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh : both had

negative CAGR

b. In three states of Bihar, Gujarat and Jammu and Kashmir, while Expenditure on overall works had

positive CAGR , expenditure on individual works indicated negative CAGR

3. CAGR for both indicated same growth in two states, viz., Rajasthan and West Bengal but there were

differentials in terms of

CAGR : Expenditure vis-à-vis Works

1. For all the states CAGR of expenditure was found to be higher compared to CAGR of number of works.

This was true in both cases – overall works as well as individual works.

2. In six states of Assam, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Orissa, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh CAGR of

Expenditure in both categories (Overall as well as Individual) have gone up but CAGR of works in both

categories (Overall as well as Individual) have been negative.

3. CAGR of works as well as expenditure at overall (community and individual works combined) level has

gone up in three states of Bihar, Gujarat and Jammu and Kashmir, but at individual levels, while CAGR of

works was negative but CAGR of expenditure was positive.

4. CAGR of works as well as expenditure at individual level was positive in state of Maharashtra, but at overall

(community and individual works combined) levels, while CAGR of works was negative but CAGR of

expenditure was positive. On the other hand in Punjab CAGR of works as well as expenditure at individual

Concentration of Irrigation efforts in a few states There are only six states, red-ink marked, (of total 35 states) which have cornered major irrigation related works

taken up in last five years. However, these states showed either a remarkable increase or a remarkable decline,

mostly consistently.

As such the share of these states in the irrigation related works in all these years has been remarkably noticeable:

63.89 percent in 2008-09, 68.60 per cent in 2009-10, 73.30 per cent in 2010-11, 80.36 per cent in 2011-12 and

77.14 per cent in 2012-13. Thus of late almost 80 per cent of total works are concentrated in these six states only.

(Comparing the same with seven other major states , namely , Assam, Haryana, HP, J & K, Punjab , Uttarakhand

and Tamil Nadu which together had a meager 2.75 percent in 2008-09, 5.55 per cent in 2009-10, 5.12 per cent in

2010-11, 3.71 per cent in 2011-12 and 4.33 per cent share in 2012-13).

Despite the large share of the six stated states, trend of the works taken up depict major rise or fall Those with rise are AP and UP. Share of AP depicted the trend as - from a meagre 0.78 percent in 2008-09, the

state inclined to 5.57 per cent in 2009-10, 13.92 per cent in 2010-11, 18.73 per cent in 2011-12 and 33.73 per cent

in 2012-13.

Uttar Pradesh too depicted a rise till 2011-12, and in 2012-13 was second only to AP. Its share throughout has

been remarkable from 7.81 percent in 2008-09, the state inclined to 15.17 per cent in 2009-10, 29.59 per cent in

2010-11, and to 45.87 per cent in 2011-12 (almost half of the entire nation). Share though slumped to almost 2010-

11 level (29.34 per cent) in 2012-13 yet was second only to AP.

Two sister states of MP and Chhattisgarh had consistent declines: MP from 32.50 percent in 2008-09 to 19.65 per cent in 2009-10, 13.08 per cent in 2010-11, 7.50 per cent in 2011-

12 and 6.10 per cent in 2012-13, while Chhattisgarh from 9.58 percent in 2008-09 to 4.49 per cent in 2009-10, 4.01

per cent in 2010-11, 2.20 per cent in 2011-12 and 1.66 per cent in 2012-13. The other state indicating a consistent

decline is Rajasthan: from 11.40 percent in 2008-09 to 9.71 per cent in 2009-10, 5.95 per cent in 2010-11, 3.32 per

cent in 2011-12 and 3.93 per cent in 2012-13.

The state of Karnataka though depicted more than ten fold rise in 2009-10, but is indicating a consistent decline

since. Its trend has been: 1.82 percent in 2008-09, 14.00 per cent in 2009-10, 6.76 per cent in 2010-11, 2.74 per

cent in 2011-12 and 2.38 per cent in 2012-13.

Conclusions The assets creation and up gradation works as carried out under nine different heads have varied levels of

presence in different state. Though concentration of type of work being undertaken varies from state to state, there

is a marked consistency within the state. Most of the States have two or at most three works being carried out

which seem to be more or less as found suitable by the local populace and authorities (almost 90 per cent works in

the country are GP based works).

Despite the encouraging results as pointed out above, it is found that over years, the expenditure has been rising

quite disproportionately compared to growth of number of works.

Another significant finding pertains to overall performance of the MGNREGA scheme. Only some six states have

cornered more than 50 per cent of total works in the country. Large chunk of states have been non-starter still after

8 years of MGNREGA.

Notes: Creation of assets in MGNREGA leads to increase in income: UNDP report:

The report states that MGNREGA has generated extra income for households with the survey indicating

that a majority of the households noted a 10- 15% increase in income post creation of assets through

MGNREGA. The report also states that 34% had taken up alternate sources of livelihoods due to creation

of assets and income generated. For example, some of the farmers reported opening their own grocery

shops, better linkages to markets etc. Almost 42% of the households who sought employment under

MGNREGA and on whose land work was undertaken, do not come back to work on MGNREGA.

CAG raises doubts on government’s claim on capital spend

The CAG report on the Union government accounts, tabled in Parliament on Aug 15, 2013, said "a large

number of works undertaken under MGNREGA did not result in creation of fruitful assets as they were

abandoned midway". It cited the example of works amounting to Rs 4,000 crore which were incomplete and

did not result in creation of assets. The audit had reviewed Rs 29,000 crore grants under MGNREGA, all of

which were earmarked as grants for creation of capital assets.

Many of this expenditure was focused on creation of employment generation rather than on creation of

assets, the audit said.
