30. Convergence: Key Challenges
Identification of works every year & creation of durable assets
Leveraging technical and domain expertise desirable for creation of durable assets
Resistance by Departments due to difference in execution norms - leading to low level of active participation
Execution of technical works within MGNREGS framework by EGS functionaries is a difficult task
For optimum leveraging - Separation of material component completely and allowing material intensive works to be executed as per Departmental norms.
