Job scene improving but still not as good as pre-Covid days
In the first four months of 2024-25, MGNREGS generated 127.9 crore person-days of work, which is 13 crore higher than 2019-20 but 23 crore fewer than the previous fiscal. The budget for this year is reduced by over Rs 19,000 crore. Experts claim new mobile and Aadhaar-based attendance systems may have affected work demand.
