AGARTALA, June 3 (TIWN): Delivering a massive blow to Manik Sarkar led CPI-M Govt and Tripura's scam tainted Principal Secretary RD, GSG Ayyangar, Joint Secretary of Union Rural Development Department Aparajita Sarengi on Thursday praised West Bengal for the implementation of 100 days MGNREGA work in the state. Union R D Ministry conducted review meeting on the MGNREGA implementation work across the country on 1st June and 2nd June in New Delhi. After this meeting on Thursday Joint Secretary of Union R D Ministry Aparajita Sarengi called West Bengal Panchayat Minister Subrata Mukharjee in her office and informed him about the success of West Bengal in MGNREGA. West Bengal's stellar performance in MGNREGA is a lesson as Tripura's abysmal performance of a mere 36.4% MGNREGA work completion rate during 2015-16 FY (Financial Year) a dark contrast for GSG Ayyangar led MGNREGA's false claims in Tripura.

It is to be mentioned here that this review meeting was conducted to take a note of the implementation of the ongoing MGNREGA works in India. All the state gov'ts were informed about this review meeting in March. Accordingly Gov't of Tripura too was informed .

Gov't of Tripura , CPI-M party leaders and many Gov't officials including DM Gomati Sonal Goel and TCS Officer Pankaj Chakraborty have been campaigning about the success of MGNREGA implementation in Tripura.

But on 10th March 2016 Aparajita Sarengi wrote a letter to Manik Sarkar's most trusted official Principal Secretary of RD G S G Ayaynagar asking to the state gov't to complete the incomplete works taken in hand during the previous years and to upload the completion certificate I MIS .

She also mentioned that  ministry of Rural development said that the work competition rate under MGNREGA in Tripura since its inception is 83.79 percent, but in actual it is only 36.4 percent.

In para 10 of scheduled-I of Mahatma Gandhi NREGA Act it   says ," That while opening works in Public works category it shall ensured that the ongoing or incomplete works should be completed first. "

CM Manik & his team has been blaming the Centre for curtailment of MGNREGA funds to Tripura by the Centre . But none of them said the truth that R D Ministry as per schedule has reviewed Tripura's performance on 1st of June.

Union Joint Secretary Aparajita Sarangi's letter to Principal Secretary GSG Ayangar on 36.4% in 2015-16 Financial year

Though official notification is yet to be known , Joint Secretary of Union R D Ministry Aparajita Sarengi's statement shows that West Bengalunder Mamata Banerjee has set an example before the country about the utilization of MGNREGA in the state.

Thus, Bengal to be declared as a model state for MGNREGA is indeed a crown of state govt's initiative towards rural development.
