How to Check Village Works & Spending Online
Under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) and the VB-GRAM-G portal, every citizen has the fundamental right to inspect public work registers, total expenditures, and worker muster rolls in their Gram Panchayat. Whether it is an ongoing pond deepening, a village CC road, boundary plantation, or irrigation canal, full transparent records are published online.
Wage vs Material Ratio Rule
MGNREGA mandates that at least 60% of the total project expenditure at the district level must be paid directly as worker wages, while not more than 40% can be spent on construction materials and skilled technical components.
3-Stage Geo-Tagged Photo Verification
Every sanctioned project requires live geo-tagged photographs at three distinct stages: Before commencement (Stage 1), During active work with laborers (Stage 2), and After completion (Stage 3).
Key Details Available for Each Work (कार्य विवरण में उपलब्ध जानकारी)
- Unique Work Code (कार्य कोड): Every project possesses a 14-digit government code to prevent ghost projects.
- Sanctioned Budget (स्वीकृत राशि): Exact administrative and technical sanctions approved by the Panchayat Samiti and Zila Parishad.
- Labour Expenditure (मजदूरी खर्च): Cumulative wage disbursements transferred directly to workers' Aadhaar-linked bank accounts (ABPS).
- Material Expenditure (सामग्री खर्च): Vendor bills and vouchers paid through the e-FMS (Electronic Fund Management System).
- Persondays Generated (सृजित मानव दिवस): Total number of labor days village families worked on the project.
- Worker Muster Rolls (मस्टर रोल विवरण): List of all muster roll numbers issued for the work, with worker names and attendance dates.
Understanding Work Status (कार्य की स्थिति)
Work has been passed in Gram Sabha and approved by the technical department, but physical excavation/construction has not started yet.
Active muster rolls are currently running, workers are employed at the site, and wage payments are being processed fortnightly.
Physical construction is 100% complete, final inspection measurements are recorded, and completion certificate is signed.
