Transforming Government since 2001
The Government plans to soon roll out a nationwide biometric database of all workers employed under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) as part of its efforts to ensure transparency and accountability in the implementation of the scheme.

The Ministry of Rural Development signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in this regard with the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) in this regard here today.

An official press release said the Ministry and the UIDAI would cooperate and collaborate in the process to bring about better efficiency, transparency and accountability in the implementation of the right to wage employment guaranteed under the landmark Act.

A presentation on the proposed system made at a workshop here today said real time data on the MGNREGA processes wold reduce delays in measurement and wage payments.

In addition to this, the data so created could also be used by the UIDAI for generating the UID number and by banks and post offices for the purpose of servicing MGNREGA accounts through the Business Correspondent model.
