Convergence
An approach to build durable assets while
providing employment under MGNREGS.
2
Necessity of Convergence
 limitation of MGNREGS Labour & Material ratio (L M Ratio)•
60:40 L M Ratio is required
•
For GP as PIA, ratio to be maintained at GP Level
•
for line departments, ratio to be maintained at block level
 To expedite utilization of funds of other programme•
mainly material component is required from other scheme. Therefore
fund utilization is expedited.
 Additional financial support for IHHL construction.
•
Only Rs. 4600 is the motivational amount in NBA, where as actual cost of
toilet is about Rs.13000. Therefore additional financial support up to Rs.
4500 is made available from EGS.
3
Necessity of Convergence
 To involve line departments like PWD, water resource, forest for
there expertise for• Road and Cross Drainage works by PWD,
• Water retaining structure by water resource department.
• Plantation by forest department depending upon life, climate, growth rate,
etc.
 Need of community demand for village infrastructure like
• internal village concrete roads,
• Aanganbari bhawan etc..
• Development of traditional water bodies.
 Need of individual demand for sustainable livelihood Like apna
khet apna kam, diggi nirman, horticulture etc.
4
Necessity of Convergence
 To take-up bigger project’s.
• Bigger and important projects may be constructed by
convergence.
• Many Big projects have been constructed by conversing
MGNREGA and other schemes.
• Number of diggis / Tankas have been constructed.

Reason of Less Convergence with NREGS
 Lack of MIS Support - Present MIS doesn’t give exact
status of convergence.
 Uneven Employment Demand - EGS is a demand based
programme, Demand is not uniform during the year. So
uneven availability of labour results in delayed
completion of works and enhanced cost.
12
Reason of Less Convergence with NREGS

Coordination between two agencies – There is time lag in issuing
individual sanctions, release of installments etc. Due to lack of
coordination between two agencies, pace of work suffers.

Processes under MGNREGS – Processes in EGS are very rigid. Funds of
other scheme used for dovetailing has to confirm to same processes.
Therefore implementing agencies at times do not take initiative for
convergence.
13
Suggestion for effective Convergence

Adequate MIS Support – MIS support needs to be enhanced for
convergence of works.

Advance preparation of action plan and release of funds by
concerned funding department to MGNREGS.
14
Suggestion for effective Convergence

All Activities which are permissible under MGNREGS should not be
allowed independently – Many activities of MoRD like
development of watershed & Soil conservation is admissible
activity is permissible under EGS. Therefore watershed & Soil
conservation activities should not be allowed independently.
Suitable change may be made in the guidelines of EGS & Water
shed.

other ministries which are willing to create assets for their use
should transfer funds to the EGS implementing department at
state level Like ministries of WCD for construction of Aangan bari,
Ministry of Drinking water and sanitation for construction of IHHL,
Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports for construction of play field etc.

Pari Sampati Nirman Nidhi
Parisampatti Nirman Nidhi
(Community Assets Creation Funds)
•
Hon’ble CM announced creation of separate fund for construction
of durable assets under MGNREGS
•
Amount earmarked in FY 2013-14: Rs. 150 Cr
•
Thrust – GP which have used 40% material component under
MGNREGS and works are still incomplete, will get additional
funds from Parisampatti Nidhi for creation and completion of
durable assets.
•
Result- Need not to look other schemes for creating durable assets
having material more then 40%.
