The Executive Director of DRDA Ukhrul Ningngam chamroy, Project Officer Bishikanta Singh and Project Officer Ms.A.C.Ningshimi respectively of DRDA Ukhrul were the main trainers of the training.
The new systems of Management of Information System (MIS) were elaborately highlighted during the training for effective implementation and funding from the centre.
According to the new system every village has to upload their management of the working of MGNREGS directly to the Union Rural Development Ministry' website.
This includes the details of job cards, numbers of work done, amount received etc.
The respective village will get fund for MGNREGS only after uploading of this information.
However, the new system of MIS is unlikely to work well in the District as internet facilities in the village is still a far cry leave alone the facilities at the Block and district Headquarters.

During the four years span of NREGS substantive improvement in development especially in rural connectivity and poverty alleviation are seen.
