dbo:abstract
  • La National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) est une loi en Inde votée le 25 août 2005 et entrée en vigueur à partir du 2 février 2006. Elle vise à offrir 100 jours de travail par an (non-qualifié, rémunéré au salaire minimum) aux individus volontaires d'un ménage pauvre en zone rurale. Cette loi et le programme associé induit un budget de 7 milliards d'euros et touche 50 millions de personnes en moyenne par an. Elle a pour objectif de transférer des revenus aux populations les plus pauvres, mais également d'améliorer les infrastructures rurales et les services publics. Les travaux proposés sont essentiellement des travaux de constructions (ponts, routes, parcs...) et de protection de l'environnement (digues, assèchement de marécage, conservation des eaux, horticulture...). Le programme est ainsi mis en avant par plusieurs partisans d'un Green New Deal. Tout bénéficiaire dépose sa demande en mairie, qui confie au conseil municipal la mission de cibler les activités. Le nombre de jours d'emploi est déclaré au fonds central NREGA, qui verse les sommes requises au conseil municipal. Si ce dernier échoue à identifier une activité à proposer aux demandeur, ce dernier est indemnisé. Le programme est parfois critiqué pour sa mauvaise gestion et la corruption importante qui détournent ces subsides. (fr)
  • Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act 2005 or MNREGA, earlier known as the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act or NREGA, is an Indian labour law and social security measure that aims to guarantee the 'right to work'. This act was passed in 23 August 2005 under the UPA government of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh following tabling of the bill in parliament by the Minister for Rural Development Raghuvansh Prasad Singh. It aims to enhance livelihood security in rural areas by providing at least 100 days of wage employment in a financial year to at least one member of every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work. Women are guaranteed one third of the jobs made available under the MGNREGA. Another aim of MGNREGA is to create durable assets (such as roads, canals, ponds and wells). Employment is to be provided within 5 km of an applicant's residence, and minimum wages are to be paid. If work is not provided within 15 days of applying, applicants are entitled to an unemployment allowance. That is, if the government fails to provide employment, it has to provide certain unemployment allowances to those people. Thus, employment under MGNREGA is a legal entitlement. Apart from providing economic security and creating rural assets, other things said to promote NREGA are that it can help in protecting the environment, empowering rural women, reducing rural-urban migration and fostering social equity, among others." The act was first proposed in 1991 by P.V. Narasimha Rao. It was finally accepted in the parliament and commenced implementation in 625 districts of India. Based on this pilot experience, NREGA was scoped up to cover all the districts of India from 1 April 2008. The statute was praised by the government as "the largest and most ambitious social security and public works programme in the world". In 2009 the World Bank had chided the act along with others for hurting development through policy restrictions on internal movement. However in its World Development Report 2014, the World Bank termed it as a "stellar example of rural development". MGNREGA is to be implemented mainly by gram panchayats (GPs). The law stated it provides many safeguards to promote its effective management and implementation. The act explicitly mentions the principles and agencies for implementation, list of allowed works, financing pattern, monitoring and evaluation, and detailed measures to ensure transparency and accountability.

  • My political instincts tell me that MNREGA should not be discontinued... This is a living monument of your failure to tackle poverty in 60 years. After so many years in power, all you were able to deliver is for a poor man to dig ditches a few days a month. (en)
