HCL Infosystems takes up NREGA project in Uttar Pradesh
Bangalore: HCL Infosystems has taken up a project with the Uttar Pradesh (UP) government to facilitate disbursement of wages to workers under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) project. As per the project, HCL Infosystems would implement technology for issuing e-job cards to workers in Sitapur district of UP. "We are sure that using technology will further facilitate on-ground implementation of NREGA and the benefits of this initiative will reach the right individuals and thereby multiply its impact on the society," said George Paul, HCL Infosystems' Executive Vice-President. As part of the phase one of the project, 1,000 e-job cards would be issued. The NREGA was introduced with an aim of improving the purchasing power of the rural people, primarily semi or un-skilled work to people living below poverty line in rural India. It provides a legal guarantee for hundred days of employment in every financial year to adult members of any rural household willing to do public work-related unskilled manual work at the statutory minimum wage.
