MGNREGS Funds Decline Despite Rising Budget Allocation: Govt Data

Imagine the government has a job program called MGNREGS to help people in villages get work.

They put money aside for it each year, which is like a budget.

Even though the amount of money set aside in the budget has gone up, the amount of money actually used for the job program has been going down recently.

In 2020-21, when many workers returned to their villages, the program spent the most money.

The government says they're committed to supporting the program, and they've put a lot of money in the budget for it.

The government has already sent money to the states to pay the workers.
