Rural development secretary Nagendra Nath Sinha informed lawmakers during a meeting of Parliamentary standing committee on labour on Friday that 1.55 billion person-days have been generated under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) until July. This is nearly 50% of the targeted 3 billion person-days for the entire year. He said that the exhaustion of jobs may create troubles for the migrant labourers.
