Source: <\/b>The post is based on the article<\/span> \u201c<\/b>Afte<\/b>r complaints, Centre set to prioritize wages for MGNREGS site supervisors\u201d <\/b>published in<\/span> The Hindu <\/b>on 3rd December 2022.<\/b><\/p>\n

What is the News?<\/b><\/h5>\n

The Union Rural Development Ministry has devised a protocol to prioritize payment to Mates or site supervisors under<\/span> Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGA).<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

What are the issues site supervisors or mates are facing under MGNREGA?<\/b><\/h5>\n

Under MGNREGA, wages of unskilled workers are to be paid within 15 days and if there is a delay, the Centre has to compensate them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, mates – who are the frontline supervisors of the MGNREGA programmes – are listed as semi-skilled workers because of the specialist nature of their job.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their wages come from the \u201cmaterial component\u201d, 60% of which is paid by the Union government. This component is now being released erratically, caught up in bureaucratic delays and chronic fund crunch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Owing to the delay, in many States, the Mates have started listing themselves as unskilled workers to get their wages on time.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the changes brought in by the government to address this delay in payments to mates?<\/b><\/h5>\n

Since Mate payments are made under the \u201cmaterial component\u201d, often State governments clear the vendor bills related to the supply of raw materials for the construction before clearing Mates\u2019 payments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the new system, State governments need to clear payments to Mates or supervisors before clearing vendor bills. It is also proposed that reports on day-wise pendency in payment to Mates may be generated.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
