He said that there are many misconceptions and unclear notions among the public regarding the various schemes and projects implemented in the State while pointing out that a majority of the people consider the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) as a scheme only meant for cleaning roads, drainages and environment .
He informed that under the MGNREGA, deserving beneficiaries can take the benefits for many employment generating works like poultry farming and cattle rearing while promising that he will extend all possible help to those who wish to do so .
In her presidential speech, Ng Kunjarani said that she will not accept any proposal based on favouritism and nepotism in connection with the Panchayat affairs .
She asked the locals to bring up suggestions or matters related to Panchayat affairs, including those for Government schemes and projects in Gram Sabha meetings that can be further decided with the people’s conscience .
She also sought the cooperation of the locals to build an effective Panchayat system.
