The allegation of corrupt practice in implementing the Prime Minister Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP) made by Arunachal Hope Foundation (AHF) is grave and deserves proper investigation. Chairman of AHF Rigam Singhi alleged that instead of unemployed youths benefiting from the scheme, it is being exploited by politicians, established business people and relatives of influential officers. The state government should conduct a proper investigation as the nature of the allegation is serious. PMEGP is a very important programme to provide employment opportunities to unemployed youths. There should be fair opportunities for everyone. If only powerful people and their relatives avail the benefits of this scheme, then it won’t serve the purpose. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Most of the government schemes in the state fail for this very reason. In departments like agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry both central and state governments run subsidy schemes for the farmers. But often these schemes are not given to the real farmers. The beneficiary lists are drawn by politicians and a few select powerful individuals in the districts. Therefore the schemes often fail to serve purpose. The AHF has raised corruption in PMEGP but if proper investigation is done, such kind of corrupt practices will be found in other government schemes too.
