Hyderabad, Sept. 28 Andhra Pradesh has been ranked as the number one State in the country with regard to the implementation of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Programme .

A study conducted by the National Consortium of Civil Society Organisations, a non-governmental organisation, said the performance of the State in implementation of the scheme “is remarkable and unparalleled” in the country.

The Department of Rural Development, Government of Andhra Pradesh could achieve this distinction by employing the information technology tools, techniques and robust social audit in implementing the programme, the study said.

Acknowledging complaints from all over India regarding delays and corruption in the payment of fair wages under NREGP, the study pointed out that in Andhra Pradesh there is a sharp contrast with labour payments being made within a week of completion of the previous week’s work.
