Excerpts from MGNREGA Sameeksha:

I am encouraged to learn that in Andhra Pradesh data entry is in real time and pay orders for wage payments are generated online. This directly addresses the issue of delayed payments and should be replicated elsewhere.
Speech of Honble Prime Minister while Releasing MGNREGA Sameeksha

Increased use of information technology with the ultimate objective of having a transaction-based MIS in all states (at present only one State, namely Andhra Pradesh has such a system), Foreword by Honble MoRD Shri Jairam Ramesh Net household income or income as a fraction of household income, is considered as an indicator of the relevance of the Scheme for the poor. Surveying 1,500 households in three states, a study observed that the share of MGNREGA in the income of the poor was the highest in Andhra Pradesh (about 17 per cent).
P. Dutta, R. Murgai, M. Ravallion and M. V. Dominique, Does Indias Employment Guarantee Scheme Guarantee Employment?, Policy Research Paper, Washington, DC: World Bank, 2012.

22

The findings for Andhra Pradesh were confirmed by the longitudinal study in Medak district. It was found that around 67 per cent of the households said they use MGNREGA as a source of income when no other work was available.
Engler and Ravi, Workfare as an Effective Way to Fight Poverty.

It follows from a study conducted in Andhra Pradesh that the MGNREGA has caused a significant increase in monthly per capita consumption expenditure of around 10 per cent for households. Expenditure on non-food consumables increased significantly by around 23 per cent.
Expenditure on transportation decreased significantly due to the MGNREGA by around 65 per cent. This was most likely because the MGNREGA stipulates that employment be provided within 5 kilometres (kms) of the residence of participants.17 Ibid. MGNREGA has contributed to ensuring a higher intake of food and food availability. In Andhra Pradesh, a study compared the number of meals foregone by households and found that this number had reduced significantly as a result of MGNREGA. Those who worked in the programme gave up 1.6 fewer meals per week. Engler and Ravi, Workfare as an Effective Way to Fight Poverty.
23

according to a secondary analysis of MGNREGA data from Andhra Pradesh, a study observed that MGNREGA provides income for poor households when they most need it, i.e. when they are hit by adverse weather conditions
Doug Johnson, Can Workfare Serve as a Substitute for Weather Insurance? The Case of NREGA in Andhra Pradesh, Working paper 32, Chennai: Institute of Financial Management and Research (IFMR), 2009.

The development of fallow or less productive assigned lands of SC/ST into productive land was the priority. There is a significant increase in the percentage of assigned lands brought into cultivation. Of the selected households (mostly SCs and STs), the total percentage of cultivated land in 2007 was around 13 per cent, this increased to around 60 per cent by 2010
Vizianagram: Centre for Education and Research Development (CERD), NREGA Processes in Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh: Appraisal and Research Study, CERD. Report submitted to the Ministry of Rural Development/UNDP, 2010. WASSAN: National Consortium of Civil Society Organizations (NCCSO), MGNREGA: Opportunities, Challenges and the Road Ahead. Second Report of the NCCSO on MGNREGA, 2011.

The results of a longitudinal study of over 1064 rural households15 from 200 villages of Medak district, Andhra Pradesh over two years, showed that in the initial years, MGNREGA predominantly attracted nonagricultural labour (78 per cent).
M. Engler and S. Ravi, Workfare as an Effective Way to Fight Poverty:
24

A study conducted in Anantpur, Andhra Pradesh observed that the scheme brought down the migration levels from about 27 per cent to 7 per cent in the sample villages due to availability of work.
K. Kareemulla, S. K. Reddy, C. A. Rao, S. Kumar and B. Venkateswarlu, Soil and Water Conservation Works through National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) in Andhra PradeshAn Analysis of Livelihood Impact, Agricultural Economics Research Review, vol. 22, 2009, pp. 44350. Learning from the experience of Andhra Pradesh, the GoI notified Social Audit rules, outlining in detail the processes and procedures for conducting quality audits by State Governments. Regular monitoring is done through the MIS and regular follow-up with states that are not conducting social audits, is also undertaken. Online entry of data in Andhra Pradesh is realtime ie., the State uses its data software to issue payorders to banks and post offices for payment of wages.

25

Recent Decisions

Wage Material Ratio of 60:40 is to be maintained taking Gram Panchayat as the unit. Individual household latrines (IHHL)/ Anganwadi / School toilets: Govt. of India have approved to take up Individual household latrines / Anganwadi / School toilets under total sanitation campaign (TSC). The maximum of 20 persondays towards unskilled wages and 6 persondays for the skilled wages subject to a maximum amount of Rs. 4500 from MGNREGS for IHHL.
