February 28, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 05:38 am IST - ALAPPUZHA:

District Collector N. Padmakumar has directed the various departments to formulate activities and appoint nodal officers for the effective implementation of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) in the district.

Speaking at a meeting to review the progress of the scheme, Mr. Padmakumar pointed out that the various activities that were undertaken by the departments could be brought under the MGNREGS. For the successful implementation of the project, it was necessary to plan activities after the collection of basic data by each department. The department-level nodal officers must monitor the progress of each work that was being undertaken as part of the scheme, he said.

The meeting noted that various activities in the agricultural sector, including the construction of bunds and farm roads, could be undertaken.

Activities to plant mangroves by the coastal areas to prevent sea attack could also be organised under the Central scheme.
