3. Why Convergence?
The MoRD Notification dated 20th December 2013 states that
“The State Government shall take concrete steps to achieve effective inter-departmental convergence till the last mile implementation level of the works under the Scheme with other Government Schemes / programmes so as to improve the quality and productivity of assets and bring in synergy to holistically address the multiple dimensions of poverty in a sustainable manner.”
The objective of MGNREGA namely creation of durable assets and securing livelihood of rural households can be facilitated through Convergence of MGNREGA works with resources of other programmes / schemes available with Panchayaths and other line departments. These resources are not restricted to availability of funds but include technical expertise and knowhow that officials of the line departments may be endowed with.
4. Modes of Convergence There are basically three modes of Convergence: a. Labour work under MGNREGS, Material component under departmental programmes b. Each work divided into two parts-one part under MGNREGS, another under
departmental programmes c. Entire work under MGNREGS implemented by Line Department, either before or after
the departmental work (Pre / Post Convergence) Examples – Provision of seeds and fertilizers from NRHM to farmer, whose land has been improved using MGNREGA funds. Providing micro -irrigation using funds available under RKVY for horticulture plantation done under eligible MGNREGA. Supply of fingerlings by Fisheries department for a dugout pond created under MGNREGA. In these cases too, there are two distinct parts of the project.

Page 23 of 24
Management Project (IWMP) to be considered as a single unit for treating the entire area comprehensively to have better impact. Under MGNREGA all soil and moisture conservation works in public land and individual Land development works in the lands of eligible beneficiaries are to be taken up, so as to saturate the watershed.
In watershed areas which do not fall under IWMP, entire public land treatment and land development works of eligible beneficiaries are to be taken up under MGNREGA. In both these kinds of watersheds, if there are any private lands belonging to farmers other than those eligible ones under the act, like those of medium and large holdings, watershed works to be taken up under IWMP or other schemes of Watershed Development Department. The entire watershed has to be treated comprehensively until saturation.
x. Benefits to eligible beneficiaries only: A clear directive from the Commissionerate of Rural Development has been issued to all the implementing officers as per the circular No. RDP 417 MGNREGS 2014 Dt. 21.04.2014, clarifying the selection of eligible beneficiaries listed in the MoRD Notification Dt. 21.12.2013, on priority basis for implementing individual works. It has been directed to first take up the beneficiaries belonging to Scheduled Cast and Scheduled Tribes and then consider the other 8 categories, after exhausting which only the beneficiaries belonging to small and marginal categories to be considered. In cases, where the works are executed fully under MGNREGS, all the works bearing more than 40% material cost are to be invariably earmarked and executed in fields of Scheduled Cast and Scheduled Tribes only. If the beneficiaries belonging to other eligible categories come forward to contribute to meet the excess material cost (of more than 40%), then they could be considered for such material intensive works, like Cattlesheds, under individual category.
xi. Line departments have been directed to identify and mobilize workers of their own, register them in groups of 15 to 20 members (called as KAYAKA BANDHUS)
xii. Block wise and district wise list of beneficiaries who were provided with cattle under Special Component Plan (SCP) and Tribal Sub-Plan (TSP) by the State Animal Husbandry Department during the financial year 2013-14 is available at the block and district level.

of line departments. Out of this, Rs. 4227.00 lakhs was incurred from the login of officers of Forest Department and Rs. 3635.00 lakhs was booked from the login of officers of Watershed Development Department. As all the payments (of both wage and material) in the state are being realised online through e-FMS, the less incurrence of expenditure from the login of implementing officers of line departments is obvious because of the time taken to bring all the implementing officers of line departments under e-FMS net. However, the expenditure from their login is expected to pick up during the financial year 2014-15. For this it is requested to provide i) DPR Freezing, ii) NMR Generation and iii) Material bill generation from the login of Line Department.
