Concerns Except in few districts, Collectors are not spending time on EGS review & monitoring. Continuous work is not provided to labour. After providing 4 to 5 days work, it is stopped and is resumed after a long gap. Local leadership should be positively oriented about NREGS programme. Engineers are not taking interest in MI Tanks Fund flow from GOI is not smooth

Plan of Action for next 4 months Providing continuous work to all labour. Focus on MI tanks to complete them in all respect by 31st May days employment for 1 lakh households (Phase I) by March 31st days employment for households (Phase II) by March 31 st 2008 (Contd..)

50 days employment for 1 Lakh Households in the months of April, May & June. Works commence in Phase III (Vishakapatnam, West Godavari & Krishna) Districts from Pitting works start from 1,80,000 Horticulture. Delay in payment will be reduced to minimum – 85% payments will be made in 4-5 days after closure of Muster Roll. Plan of Action (April-June)
