14. Modes of Convergence
Modes of Convergence
–Funds may be made available from other schemes to meet cost of an
identifiable part of the project that could result in enhanced durability of
assets created / proposed using MGNREGA funds.
–Funds may be made available from other schemes as livelihood component
for putting to use for livelihood, assets created/ proposed using MGNREGA
funds
–The third mode could be to provide for technical inputs from concerned
departmental officials. The inputs could be either in the form of supervision
by technical staff during work execution for improving the quality of assets
created/ proposed or for capacity building for using assets under MGNREGA
for livelihood.
•A combination of two or more of the above modes is also possible.
