In other words, almost every household that asked for work got it – 6.97 lakh out of 6.99 lakh.

Work still pending

The report says 3,45,060 spillover works are still to be completed in Assam: 3,00,639 linked to the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana–Gramin (PMAY-G) and 44,421 carried over from MGNREGA. Zilla parishad CEOs and DRDA project directors in Sixth Schedule districts have been told to finish them on priority, and Minister Atul Bora has asked for faster execution.

What it means for workers

• PMAY-G households: the focus is on giving every PMAY-G beneficiary 95 days of work for building their house. If your house is being built, ask the panchayat whether a muster roll has been made in your name.
• Pending works: with 3.45 lakh works still open, work should keep coming to villages in the months ahead. If you need work, ask in writing and get a receipt.
• Six priority works per panchayat: six priority works are being rolled out in every gram panchayat or block, together with the 16th Finance Commission grant.
