The government may have started the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme and club it as a success but the question remains about the productivity of the scheme.
There are various audits by different agencies as to the scheme is implemented but there are fewer checks on where and for what purpose the labourers were used.
Though the government is claiming 3 crore families benefited from NREG, the matter of fact is that the government has lost all these money because the work carried out under these schemes were not only unnecessary but was completely futile.
At some places the contractors had to give minimum wages and so the labourers were asked to till waste land and few days later they were asked to level the same land again.
Instead the government should have formed a pool and supplied labour to the necessary sector like agriculture or construction etc or its own road building etc.
The tax payers money is distributed without any productivity
