account of this;

cards issued at village level with an objective to remove this disparity; and
(d) if so, the details thereof?

Upto the Financial Year 2008-09, funds to all States/UTs were released by the Central
Government to the Districts for implementation of the Act. From 2009-10, funds are
being released into the State Employment Guarantee Funds of the States which have
established their State Funds from where funds are released to the districts on the
basis of the labour demand projected by the districts. In respect of the remaining
States which have not set up their State Employment Guarantee Fund, Central funds are
released to the districts directly.
(c): No, Sir
(d): Does not arise.
