|June 04, 2025
The Finance Ministry is likely to approve a 12% hike in the outlay of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) for five years, as demanded by the Ministry of Rural Development, sources said.
Recent media reports have said that the MoRD has sought an outlay of ₹5.23 lakh crore for MGNREGS for five years until 2029-30 in its proposal to the Expenditure Finance Committee (EFC). EFC is responsible for appraising and approving schemes with significant budgetary implications.
Sources in the Finance Ministry said that the ministry may give a go-ahead to the proposal and it will be finalized after Cabinet approval. In the previous five financial years from 2020-21 to 2024-25, the central fund amounted ₹4.68 lakh crore for MGNREGS.
