No labour budget has been approved for West Bengal for 2023-24 under MGNREGS, keeping workers in a state of constant worry about their survival. Many have not received their wages due from 2021. Some have joined ongoing protests in New Delhi that began in February 2023, demanding their dues and rights for guaranteed work. MGNREGS, introduced in 2005, has served as a lifeline for rural workers whose livelihood entirely depend on it. Those registered can demand up to 100 days’ work with an average income of Rs 213 daily. The lack of funds have resulted in a food crisis for many in the state.

The central government has withheld funds for the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) workers in West Bengal for over a year now. The workers are stuck in the tussle between the state and central governments and continue to struggle to feed themselves and their families. The central government on December 21, 2021 invoked the Section 27 of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGREGA) and suddenly stopped funds for the scheme. Additionally, it stopped commissioning work under the Act in June 2022. The media had attributed the freeze to the multiple alleged complaints of corruption in scheme implementation. However, the decision jeopardised the fates of 13.2 million MGNREGS workers as the Centre owed Rs 7,500 crore to the state, of which Rs 2,762 crore was for wages.
