Roadmap on convergence of MGNREGS with other schemes in Haryana

Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India has declared

financial year 2014-15 as the year of convergence in Mahatma Gandhi NREGA

and requested all the states to develop roadmap for convergence. The

purpose of this roadmap is to optimize public investments for creating durable

and productive assets and securing livelihood of rural households through

convergence of MGNREGA works with the resources of other

programmes/schemes available with Rural Development Department and

other Line departments.

To draw the convergence roadmap, one day "State level workshop on

convergence of MGNREGA with other schemes of various line departments"

was organized by the State Govt. with the help of Govt. of India, Ministry of

Rural Development. Detailed discussion was held on mode of convergence,

activities to be taken up under convergence, implementation modalities,

institutional arrangements, monitoring, supervision & quality assurance

mechanism, district initiatives and learning's from convergence activities done

in the state.

The draft State level convergence roadmap of MGNREGA with other

schemes is given below:

Modalities of Convergence:

All convergence initiatives should be within the objectives of the Mahatma Gandhi National Employment Guarantee Act and provisions outlined in the guidelines of the respective converging programme.

Only MGNREGA registered households will be utilized for MGNREGA component.

Financial Resources and / or Technical expertise of line departments may be utilized in works implemented by the Panchayats as PIA.

The line departments may also act as PIA in implementation of

MGNREGA works.

Mode of convergence

Funds may be utilized from other schemes, to meet cost of an identified part of the project that could result in enhanced durability of assets created / proposed using MGNREGA funds.

Funds may be made available from other schemes as livelihood component for putting to use for livelihood, assets created / proposed using MGNREGA fund.

Provision for technical input from line department officials and technical experts during the work execution for improving the quality of assets created / proposed or for capacity building for using assets for livelihood under MGNREGA.

Gap filling, pooling funds of MGNREGA and other schemes and deploying pooled funds for creation of an asset.

Combination of two or more of the above modes.

To enhance the value of work, durability of assets and gap filling, convergence of MGNREGA with other department schemes/ programmes becomes all are the important. Within the parameters of MGNREGS convergence guidelines, the roadmap for the proposed mode of convergence of MGNREGS with different schemes is as under:
