Hi Mam,
You talked about role of NREGA in providing 100 days employment guarantee program. Basically I came from rural area I have registered under NREGA and worked for 14 days what I saw that even the worker is Absent on the working day but the Person who coordinates this NREGA program infield making huge profits by keeping the worker as Present for the day. So my question is how can we avoid or prohibit such type of acts in rural areas?
