National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS)

• It seeks to strengthen the livelihood resource base of the poor by providing 100 days ^{NABARD 2021} of guaranteed unskilled wage employment per year to each rural household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work.
• SGRY and NFWP have been subsumed in NREGA.
• The scheme was introduced in the year 2005 through the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, (NREGA) 2005 ^{UPPSC 2021}.
• NREGS initially started in 200 districts on 2 Feb, 2006⭐️.
• Job under NREG Act has to provide to registered job card holders within 15 days for 100 days.
• 2 Oct, 2009, NREGA renamed as MNREGA.
• Centre & State: 50:50
• Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGREGS) is the most important among all the schemes of rural development.
• Presently, it covers all the rural districts (716) of the country.
• During the recent past, the scheme has emerged as the essential safety net for many rural workers who have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Under this scheme during the year 2022-23, assets worth Rs. 7.10 crore were created through the generation of 253.11 crore person days benefiting 5.82 crore households up to February 10, 2023.
• In the union budget 2023-24, the allocation for the MGNREGS has been slashed nearly by 33 per cent accounting for Rs. 60,000 crore as compared to Rs. 89,400 crore of revised expenditure of 2022-23.
• The fall in allocation could be attributed to lower demand of works under MGNREGA due to the strong agricultural growth and a swift recovery from COVID-19 induced slowdown, resulting in better employment opportunities in rural areas.
• In 2023-24, Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme accounted for nearly 38 per cent of total expenditure on all centrally sponsored schemes of rural development.

Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY)

• Out of about 141 m Ha of net area sown in the country, about 65 million hectare (or 45%) is presently covered under irrigation. Substantial dependency on rainfall makes cultivation in unirrigated areas a high risk, less productive profession. Empirical evidences suggest that assured or protective irrigation encourages farmers to invest more in farming technology and inputs leading to productivity enhancement and increased farm income. The overreaching vision of Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) is to ensure access to some means of protective irrigation to all agricultural farms in the country, to produce ‘per drop more crop’, thus bringing much desired rural prosperity.
• The Department of Agriculture & Cooperation, Ministry of Agriculture in January, 2006 as Centrally Sponsored Scheme on Micro Irrigation (CSS). In June, 2010, it was up-scaled to National Mission on Micro Irrigation (NMMI), which continued till the year 2013-14.

• Har Khet Ko Pani: Enhance the physical access of water on the farm and expand cultivable area under assured irrigation (Har Khet ko pani).
• Integration of water source, distribution and its efficient use, to make best use of water through appropriate technologies and practices.
• Improve on - farm water use efficiency to reduce wastage and increase availability both in duration and extent.
• Enhance the adoption of precision - irrigation and other water saving technologies (More crop per drop).
