Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme or Household breaking Scheme
To-Shri Manmohan Singh Ji 19-08-2008
Prime Minister of India
New Delhi
Respected Sir:
1. THE NATIONAL RURAL EMPLOYMENT GUARANTEE ACT, 2005 NO. 42 OF 2005 presumably enacted for the laudable purpose of giving guaranteed employment to the rural poor may not achieve the primary objective but it will most certainly ensure that every Gram Pradhan will earn a few millions, and every Block Development Officer and other Government functionaries including the District Magistrates will most certainly add a few millions to their Bank balances.
2. What this Act will most certainly achieve will be to break up the Rural households and the joint family system prevailing for millions of years will be the casualty.
3. The Object of the Act provides:-
An Act to provide for the enhancement of livelihood security of the households in rural areas of the country by providing at least one hundred days of guaranteed wage employment in every financial year to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.
4. Section-3 reads as below:-
3. Guarantee of rural employment to households.-(1) Save as otherwise provided, the State Government shall, in such rural area in the State as may be notified by the Central Government, provide to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work not less than one hundred days of such work in a financial year in accordance with the Scheme made under this Act.
5. The definition of “Household” is as below:-
(f) "household" means the members of a family related to each other by blood, marriage or adoption and normally residing together and sharing meals or holding a common ration card;
6. What this means is that if a Householder is living together with say
His three sons & their wives as well as his own minor children as well as
those of his sons then only one of the entire lot will be entitled to Employment Guarantee of hundred days and if the House hold breaks up and the Sons start living separately then at least four of the lot will be entitled. Now what will this do, is, either break up the family or force them to get separate ration cards, live together but lie about it and bribe the Pradhan and in short become a thief in the eyes of the Law. It is only due to these foolish legislations, which turn every body in India into a thief that I had named my Blog as “INDIA MANUFACTURER OF THIEVES”.
7. There is no effective provision in the Act to contain corruption, in fact there is no such
provision in any Legislation in India for this purpose as already written by me earlier “ It is
submitted that all legislation in India were based on the principle that those implementing it
will be absolutely fair & that is why most of the legislations are failing presently because the
implementing agencies are found to be wanting in honesty & fair play hence if any legislation in
India is to succeed then, while framing it, it should be kept in mind that the implementing
agency is most likely to be totally corrupt & therefore for this purpose necessary safeguards &
penal provisions foe very stringent punishment of the officers of the implementing Agency
have to be inbuilt in the legislation.
8. I suggest that a compulsory subject, in lieu of Mathematics, titled as “Social Audit” should be
inserted in the curriculum at High School and higher levels and the students (in groups)
should be taught, trained by experts & required to conduct Social Audits and verify the
various works executed by Government Agencies, including those executed under National
Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme so that a permanent Social Audit network is there in
place all over the Country. Engineering students should be compulsorily required to undertake
one year internship (like medical students), before getting the degree and during this period
they should render assistance by their expertise to the students of “Social Audit” subject in
their work of conducting of Social Audit & verification of Government works. IIT students
should similarly be asked to do the Social Audit of high value Government works, like Roads
Construction etc so that corruption in these works may be curtailed.
I therefore request you to make the necessary change in the definition of the word "household" in the THE NATIONAL RURAL EMPLOYMENT GUARANTEE ACT, 2005 NO. 42 OF 2005 so that it does not lead to breaking up the Households or to converting millions more (poor rural citizens), to the already a very large community of Liers & thieves which we, Indians already are.
Thanking You
Yours Sincerely
