The Central government cutting down one crore plus work days for Kerala under NREGS is too cruel.
The number of work days in rural job guarantee scheme has been slashed to 6.01 crore from last year's availed 7.42 crore.
In fact NREGS is one intended to feed underprivileged people without any specific job. These people are often aged and many of them are ailing. There is none to look after them. The rural work guarantee scheme provided a chance to earn their livelihood without begging. The present cut is a cruelty on the part of central government to make these people jobless.

When liquor barons Vijay Mallya are allowed to loot thousands of crores it is unbecoming on the part of the government to take back 300 or 400 crores spent for feeding the poor by way of NREGS.
