Lucknow: Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya on Wednesday announced that the state government has appointed ombudsmen in every district to ensure impartial investigation and timely disposal of complaints related to works under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS).
Objective of Ombudsman Appointment
Maurya stated that any complaint regarding irregularities in the execution of works under the scheme would be taken seriously. He emphasized that the primary objective behind appointing district-level ombudsmen is to ensure independent and fair investigations into complaints raised by citizens, workers, and public representatives, and to guarantee their resolution within a fixed timeframe.
Inquiry and Action Against Irregularities
He added that if any irregularity, corruption, or violation of rules is found in MGNREGS works, the concerned ombudsman will conduct a detailed inquiry. Strict action, as per rules, will be taken against officials or employees found guilty, Maurya said.
Prompt Resolution and Transparency
Maurya also directed officials to ensure that complaints received through the ombudsman mechanism are resolved promptly and that complainants are informed about the progress and outcome of their grievances. He said the government’s objective is to ensure that development works carried out under MGNREGS are of high quality and that the benefits of the scheme reach genuine beneficiaries.
Strengthening Public Trust
He added that the ombudsman system would further strengthen public trust in the implementation of the scheme while improving transparency in rural development works.
