Main highlights in this update:

• NREGA implementation in State not satisfactory: The report card on implementation of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) is a mix bag for Assam, with at least 62 per cent households being provided employment under the flagship schemes, while ombudsman has not been constituted for any district and State fund.
  
  
• NREGS: Militancy-Hit Block in Meghalaya Sets Example: Despite being dubious for militancy related incidents, a block in Meghalaya has set an example by achieving almost 100 person days under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme.
  
  
• Nizamabad slips to 4th position in NREGS works: After finishing top in 2010, Nizamabad slipped to fourth place behind Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram and Srikakulam districts in the implementation of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) in the state this year.
  
  
• NREGA - The Great Job Robbery Programme: The objectives of NREGA were to economically empower the poor communities and ensuring Food Security by providing 100 work to each job card holder with 100 days of work. But the objectives lost importance for the implementers who rather focused on making a profit out of it leaving the poor families jobless as always.
