AMIT AGNIHOTRI Pursuing its social welfare agenda with a renewed vigour, UPA-II is all set to change the nomenclature of its flagship National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA). To be called the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, an amendment in the law is likely to be introduced during the coming Winter Session of Parliament. Subsequently, the nomenclature of the ambitious rural job scheme, NREGS, will also be changed. "Mahatma Gandhi introduced the concept of Charkha (spinning wheel) which hugely impacted India's freedom struggle. It is time to reinvent Gandhi and make him relevant for the present generation," said rural development minister C.P. Joshi. Sources said the move will help give a distinct identity to the NREGS, as there were reports of some states utilising the Central funds under the garb of local schemes.
