AMARAVATI, Dec 20:
The Andhra Pradesh government has cancelled more than 18 lakh MGNREGA job cards following a detailed verification and data-cleaning exercise conducted across districts. Officials said the move was aimed at removing inactive, duplicate, and ineligible beneficiaries from the rural employment database.
Authorities clarified that eligible and active workers will continue to receive employment under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme. The exercise is expected to improve transparency, prevent misuse of public funds, and ensure timely benefits for genuine rural households.
