Case Study: Improving Muster Roll and Measurement Procedure in NREGA

I am Samir Garg, working on the issue of tribal rights in Chhattisgarh with Adivasi Adhikar Samity. Our intervention has a focus on promoting grassroots mobilisation around food and work entitlements.

Being an activist working on issues of Right to Food and Work, I was concerned about the anomaly in current muster roll design in my state as it resulted in a large number of NREGS workers not getting paid as per the amount of task done by them. There was little information in the public domain on how to improve the muster roll design. I put a query in Solutions Exchange Work and Employment Community as I was confident that this would help me in accessing the specific information I was looking for.
