Sub: About Nationwide struggle for the demands of Gram Rojgar Sevak & working Staff under MG-NREGA

R/Sir
We are the representative Federation 0f organizations of the Gram Rojgar Sevak (working personals for the MG-NREGA & MREGS at Village level) registered under Trade Union Act 1926 in the all states of India.

The NREGA passed By Parliament of India has started Implementation in all over India Apr 2008. This has a Great importance & significance for the rural Masses Of India. This is the only available opportunity to the millions of landless & migrant rural Labor for employment in the villages. This is the best option available for increasing purchase power of rural poor & to impart development works.
The history of India has shown helping hand of the Rulers to the people suffering drought & Famine whether it is Medieval or Modern ERA!
Unfortunately Government of India Failed to address the correct Implementation Methodology in UPA II regime. That is what has been seen on National Scenario for implementation of NREGA with Union Government Funds. India is lagging behind for utilizing this opportunity to enhance purchasing power of millions of rural poor
Despite the good act & necessary budgetary provisions the UPA2 Union government failed to perform due to lack of political will in favor of rural poor failed to Implement MG-NREGA
Many State governments under the pressure of powerful lobbies of Builders-Contractors (Who enjoys the fruits of migration of rural poor with the cheapest labor force in World) has not performed the duty & task mentioned in the provisions of NREGA such as toTHE NATIONAL RURAL EMPLOYMENT GUARANTEE ACT 2005
OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES 2008
3rd edition 2008
2.4.STATE LEVEL
i) State Employment Guarantee Council (SEGC): A State Employment Guarantee Council (or State Council) is to be set up by every State Government under Section 12 of NREGA. The SEGC shall advise the State Government on the implementation of the Scheme, and evaluate and monitor it. Other roles of the State Council include deciding on the preferred works to be implemented under NREGS, and recommending the proposals of works to be submitted to the Central Government under Schedule I Section 1 (ix) of the Act. The State Council will prepare an Annual Report on the implementation of the NREGS in the State to be presented to the State Legislature.
ii) The State Government will be responsible for:
a) Wide communication of the Scheme
b) Setting up the SEGC
c) Establishing a State Employment Guarantee Fund
d) Ensuring that full time dedicated personnel are in place for implementing NREGA, specially the Gram Panchayat assistant (Gram Rozgar Sahayak) and the Programme Officer, and the technical staff
e) Ensuring that the State share of the NREGS budget is released on time
f) Delegation of financial and administrative powers to the District Programme Coordinator and the Programme Officer, as is deemed necessary for the effective implementation of the Scheme
g) Training
h) Establishing a network of professional agencies for technical support and for quality-control measures
i) Regular review, monitoring and evaluation of NREGS processes and outcomes.
j) Ensuring accountability and transparency in the Scheme at all levels
THE NATIONAL RURAL EMPLOYMENT GUARANTEE ACT 2005 (NREGA) & Guidelines OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES 2008 3rd edition provides the correct role of Gram Rojgar Sevak as an important development leadership of learned youth to the rural poor & a helping hand from the masses themselves. A learned youth who knows his village better had an opportunity to support & help the job seeker rural labor (who may be his school dropout friend, relative, neighbor, knowing better than government officials staying in cities)
THE NATIONAL RURAL EMPLOYMENT GUARANTEE ACT 2005
OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES 2008
3rd edition 2008
3.1.1 Gram Rozgar Sahayak: The implementation of NREGS involves considerable organizational responsibilities at the level of the Gram Panchayat. To ensure that these are effectively discharged by the Gram Panchayat, the appointment of an Employment Guarantee Assistant, in each Gram Panchayat is suggested. The Employment Guarantee Assistant could be called Gram Rozgar Sahayak, or an equivalent term in the local language. The functions of the Gram Rozgar Sahayak are given in Annexure A4. The function of Gram Rozgar Sahayak(GRS) and the Panchayat Secretary should be clearly distinguished. GRS is a dedicated staff under NREGA. The cost of GRS is the first charge on the administrative expenses under NREGA. To Start with; there should be one GRS in each Gram Panchayat.

The Union Government of India is depriving the educated youth in INDIA particularly Gram Rojgar Sevak who are playing a lead role in Implementation of NREGA for the rural masses.

1. Fix The Remuneration of Gram rojgar sevak Rs 9000/- per Month in all over India

this amount should be provided by Union Government as separate grant in aid for

Noted NREGS activists Jean Dreze and Aruna Roy on Tuesday boycotted the fourth anniversary celebration of the job scheme, attended by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, alleging that Rural Development Minister C P Joshi’s move to allow construction of panchayat buildings under the name of Rajiv Gandhi would turn into a “dangerous” entry point for “corrupt contractors”.
