Less payment in NREGA and other government schemes

Bhan Sahu is reporting from various villages in Rajnandgaon where villagers are paid less than the official rates. She says in one village people got only Rs 70 for a days work under NREGA but when they protested collectively they got the full payment of Rs 100. Similarly some people have got Rs 2000 less than the amount they signed for in Indira Awas Yojna and in the same village headman has captured a land where villagers want to build a pond under NREGA
