MNREGA: Mother’s thinking changed the picture of the life of a young man with a fifth pass

The global pandemic (Kovid-19) has had its catastrophic effect in the lives of all. The impact of Kovid-19 increased the problem of employment among the villagers living in the most rural areas. At the time of lockdown, the government has allowed the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme to work with social distancing, so that villagers can get employment at the village level itself and their economic condition can improve. There are many such youth in the rural level, Those who go elsewhere from the village in a stolen bore cart on the pretext of seeking employment. It is said that no roti cloth and house are basic essential things for life. It is also true that currently Kovid-19 is very difficult to find employment in the era of global epidemic. Nevertheless, in the situation of lockdown in the life of the fifth pass young man Badrinath Baghel, the MNREGA scheme brought happiness in his life. Badrinath Baghel has done a better job in the direction of MNREGA to self-reliance.

    The matter is of Bakodaguda of village panchayat Badekanera, 18 km from Kondagaon district headquarters, where under the circumstances, Badrinath Baghel, the village youth, did something that the whole village is praising. Badrinath Baghel’s father Sukhdev Baghel died of jaundice last year. Badrinath Baghel fell the responsibility of the maintenance of mother, brother and sister in the family. Many times he thought that he should go out of the village in search of employment in Borgadi, but in the month of March, a private construction work was going on near his land. In which his mother Sulai Bai was going to work, Mother Sulai Bai got the idea that why should we also get the private Dabri construction work done under MNREGA scheme on our vacant land. He spoke to his elder son, Badrinath, who was planning to leave for work in Borgadi a few days before the lockdown in March. Badrinath liked this thing and after thinking very carefully he made his move towards Gram Panchayat. Badrinath Baghel, who never hesitated to register his name, went towards the Gram Panchayat in search of his livelihood. Where he met the technical assistant Virendra Kumar Sahu, who came on the spot from Janpad Panchayat in Gram Panchayat and Maheshwar Pandey, secretary of Gram Panchayat Badekanera.
