💨 Abstract

The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Rural Development has reported a suspension of funds to West Bengal under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) and other schemes, causing "severe consequences" such as increased distress migration and rural development disruptions. The committee also expressed concern over the underutilisation of funds by the ministry and recommended increased allocation to MGNREGS and improved fiscal prudence.
