20. Concerns Except in few districts, Collectors are not spending time on EGS review & monitoring. Continuous work is not provided to labour. After providing 4 to 5 days work, it is stopped and is resumed after a long gap . Local leadership should be positively oriented about NREGS programme. Engineers are not taking interest in MI Tanks Fund flow from GOI is not smooth
