Doling out money for that scheme makes people inactive and lazy, it says
On a day that the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural
Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) got an additional allocation of
Rs. 5,000 crore in the Union Budget, the Rashtriya Swayamsevk Sangh
(RSS) has raised the red flag, saying the scheme makes the recipient
“inactive.”
The MGNREGS fund should rather be
diverted for skill development mission for employment, a top RSS
functionary said in Kolkata on condition of anonymity.
“Doling out money [for MGNREGS] makes people inactive … lazy,” the RSS leader said on Saturday.
The
functionary was asked if the RSS’s focus on working for rural uplift
was reducing, as rural growth might confine the farmers in their
respective villages reducing the supply of migrant workers in urban or
semi-urban locations. The leader denied it.
“The focus [of the RSS] to work in rural areas is still as much as it used to be,” the leader said.
However, subsidising the rural poor through the MGNREGS is no more an
acceptable solution to eradicate poverty. “Rather the government can
play a role to make people self-sufficient and thus skill development is
necessary, as many people can be gainfully employed,” the RSS leader
said.
Skills mission
The Finance Minister has
announced launching of a National Skills Mission, a favoured project of
the Prime Minister, to consolidate skill initiatives across several
Ministries on Saturday.

It happens in family too. The husband or wife or father or mother or son or daughter; let that be someone; that person may have said and done so many good things; we just ignore them. When they commit one mistake, then we all rip that person apart.
Good job, "The Hindu." You did publish this wonderful suggestion from RSS; also you published the comment about Mother Teresa. Your action is dharma; it is அறம்.
In fact, RSS could contribute their energy in developing villages. This Prime Minister is too much carried away by western philosophy and management. The Prime Minister believes New York and Washington is the best way of living. And the Prime Minister allocates all resources and energy to achieve that goal.
It should be RSS responsibility to take the Prime Minister to India's root. Village and Grahma Panjayat is the way of life in India. Why we need to give up that culture and tradition. You could develop software from villages too; you don't need sit in a cubical office in the crowded city.
What is this LAB? Land Acquisition Bill? Why do you need to grab land from somebody. If the cause is genuine, they would volunteer and give up their land?
Why there is a desperation? Very desperate to achieve some thing; desperate to change all those economical index?
In India, people die in their old age. In those developed nations, kids commit suicide. All those outside development; that is not real; you couldn't see the darkness in their life.
Make in China means making bi-cycles and scissors and objects for day-to-day life.
Make in India now end up in making defense equipments; that means high-end guns and weapons. Those employees would love to own them and play with them. In Chennai, that school boy used a knife to kill the teacher. Now with Make in India, the school kids would have access to those top guns. That is the way of life in all those developed nations.
It's time, Narendra Modi needs to take time-off and spends time in RSS camps and try to understand the basics of Indian culture.
Do you want land? Plenty. plenty is available in America and Canada. You could purchase land over there and build your weapon factory over there. It is ideal for those kind of operations. It is not good for anything else. You cannot grow even a single plant.
The areas closer to equator; those are the only areas good for any plant. We need to just continue to do the same; just agriculture in its natural way.
Media shall act with responsibility of a mother. A mother may have several children. All those children may occupy good profession except one. That one child may not have studied well; might not have a good life. Father supports all those good children; mother supports the left-out child.
So, let people belong to any organization. The fact is all are part of larger family of India.
