NREGA BLOCK CELL SHOULD BE STRENGTHENED

I have visited Hanskhali block today and was disappointed to find that the block NREGA cell has only one computer, one printer but no telephone line, fax, Internet, computers provided despite orders. Cell is functioning in a small room. This is undesirable. Each NREGA cell should have two telephone lines, fax, Internet, two computers, separate sitting space, engineering equipments like tapes, labelling instruments, auto cad etc. Fund for the purpose can be used from admn cost. 2. TA, CA, APO must make frequent visits to GPs and work sites. Provide mobility support, when required. 3. Online MIS, cashless payment from Nov 2008 should be ensured to continue services of contractual staff in NREGA CELL. Staff in all blocks nrega can post their suggestions please.
