The Central government is mulling to link MNREGA with the agriculture
sector in a way that the rural employment scheme and the demands of
labour in agriculture complement each other, NITI Aayog Vice Chairman
Rajiv Kumar said here on Sunday.
The government has formed a
seven-member committee of the Chief Ministers to examine the feasibility
of the idea and the way to implement it, he said.
"The committee
would examine the feasibility of using the employment generated under
the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) in
agriculture related activities both pre-harvest and post-harvest," Rajiv
Kumar said.
The committee, headed by Madhya Pradesh Chief
Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and comprising his counterparts Mamata
Banerjee (West Bengal), Vijay Rupani (Gujarat), Nitish Kumar (Bihar),
Yogi Adityanath (Uttar Pradesh), N. Chandrababu Naidu (Andhra Pradesh)
and Pawan Chamling (Sikkim), would be notified on Monday.
Under
MNREGA, the Central government has to provide at least 100 days of
guaranteed employment involving unskilled manual work in a financial
year to every household in rural areas as per demand.
