Tamil Nadu has created a record in the implementation of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) in the just-concluded financial year (2020-21).
After four years, the number of person days generated in the State crossed the 30-crore-mark.
It stood at 33.4 crore person days.
For 2020-21, the Centre had fixed a target of 27 crore person days for the State.
Later, it revised the target to 32 crore person days.
Salem was one of those districts that exceeded the target of person days last year, generating about 1.24 crore person days against the approved 1.12 crore person days.
Kancheepuram’s performance was said to be impressive in natural resources management, water conservation and plantation.
