The Kerala government will depute a high-level task force with Rural Affairs Editor of The Hindu P. Sainath, Aruna Roy (both Magsaysay Award winners), and developmental economist Jean Dreze as members to evaluate the implementation of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme in the State and submit recommendations. This was decided at a meeting of the State council chaired by Minister for Local Self-Government Paloli Mohammed Kutty here on Wednesday. The Minister said the scheme should give priority for works aimed at improving agricultural productivity.
