MGNREGA facility is provided for workers living in rural areas. Strict steps are being taken to ensure that no one has any problem under this scheme. In fact, after the increase in rigging in this scheme, efforts are being made to stop fraud.

New statement given about payment

Let us tell you that it has been informed that Aadhaar-Based Payment System (APBS) will be kept optional for MNREGA workers. It has been said that this will happen due to operational reasons. Congress MP Saptagiri Sankar Ulaka has informed that the names of workers have been wrongly removed from the system.

Actually, this has happened due to disturbances in Aadhaar and Job Card Records. The Center has made ABPS mandatory from 1 January 2024. But workers often keep changing their accounts, so a new account is not connected, so this system has been kept optional in internal areas.
