SHILLONG, Aug 26: Community & Rural Development (C&RD) Minister Hamletson Dohling convened a review meeting with the State Rural Employment Society (SRES), a nodal agency for implementation of MGNREGA, PMAY-G, RGSA, CFP, and other centrally funded schemes, at the Main Secretariat here on Friday. The review was carried out for two schemes — MGNREGA and PMAY-G.
During the review, Dohling was briefed about the physical and financial performance of both the schemes.
With regard to MGNREGA, the minister was informed about the number of incomplete works and the inability of many blocks to achieve the 60 per cent mark for works under NRM.
Other parameters such as grievances, convergence with other departments and programmes, Amrit Sarovar, were also reviewed.
IN respect of PMAY-G, the C&RD minister was apprised of the adoption of the PDIA method since July 2020 which stressed on the active involvement of all the officials from the state, districts and blocks including the village authorities and other stakeholders with the objective of accelerating the performance in terms of completion of all incomplete houses since the FY 2016-17 onwards.
He was also briefed on the number of delayed houses, the efforts as well as the issues involved with regard to procurement of land for all landless beneficiaries, convergence with other departments and the technical issues faced by many districts and blocks with regard to the key parameters under Awaas+ (Inclusion list) for FY 2021-22.
Taking note on the need to build capacities of officials, the minister advised the SRES to organise a state-level workshop for all block functionaries, particularly the new BDOs and Junior Rural Development Officers in order to boost the overall performance of the state.
