ROLE OF PANCHAYATS
·
The
implementation of MGNREGA largely depends on the active participation of
three-tier decentralized self governance units called Panchayat institutions.
·
The panchayats are required to
1.
estimate labor demand,
2.
identify works and demarcate work sites,
3.
prioritize works,
4. Prepare village/block/district level
development plans in advance for the continuous and smooth planning and the
execution of this wage employment programme.
The Panchayats are responsible for processing the registration of job seekers,
issuance of job cards, receipts of applications for employment, allotment of
jobs, identification of work sites, planning, allocation and execution of
works, payment of wages and commencement of social audit, transparency and
accountability check at the grass-root level.
Budget 2013-14 : MGNREGS will get Rs 33,000 crore
The Centre proposes to
create a biometric database of all workers covered under
the Mahatma Gandhi
National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme. It will be used

The MGNREGA is implemented solely by the
state governments while the Centre allocates funds.

Launched on 2nd October 1975, today, ICDS Scheme
represents one of the world’s largest and most unique programmes for early
childhood development.
·
ICDS is the foremost symbol of India’s commitment
to her children – India’s response to the challenge of providing pre-school
education on one hand and breaking the vicious cycle of malnutrition, morbidity,
reduced learning capacity and mortality, on the other.
Objectives:
Services:
Three of the six services namely
Immunization, Health Check-up and Referral Services delivered through Public
Health Infrastructure under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare.
Funding Pattern:
·
ICDS is a Centrally-sponsored Scheme implemented
through the State Governments/UT Administrations. Prior to 2005-06, 100%
financial assistance for inputs other than supplementary nutrition, which the
States were to provide out of their own resources, was being provided by the
Government of India.
·
Since many States were not providing adequately
for supplementary nutrition in view of resource constraints, it was decided
in 2005-06 to support to States up to 50% of the financial norms or to
support 50% of expenditure incurred by them on supplementary nutrition,
whichever is less.
·
From the financial year 2009-10, Government of
India has modified the funding pattern of ICDS between Centre and States.
·
The sharing pattern of supplementary nutrition in
respect of North-eastern States between Centre and States has been changed
from 50:50 to 90:10 ratios.
·
So far as other States and UTs, the existing
sharing pattern of 50:50 continues. However, for all other components of
ICDS, the ratio has been modified to 90:10(100% Central Assistance earlier).
