MGNREGS work demand reaches four-month high in December

Mint Kolkata

|

January 01, 2025

The number of people seeking work every month under MGNREGS has been rising steadily since September

- Rhik Kundu

The number of people demanding work every month on average under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) increased to a four-month high of 25.73 million in December, according to the latest data from the government.

This is despite a recovery in rural consumption during the first two quarters of the ongoing fiscal, driven by improved rainfall and the Centre's reliance on higher rural spending to offset declining urban consumption. Besides, the government aims to boost growth during the current fiscal year, which slowed to 5.4% in Q2 FY25, through higher state-backed capital expenditure.
