The total expenditure under EGS in 2005–06 was ₹ 98,324 million (Table 6.1). In 2008–09, when MGNREGS was fully operationalized, the expenditure on completed works was ₹ 65,360.6 million. Besides, expenditure was also incurred on ongoing works (Table 6.6). Thus, the funds available as well as expenditure incurred under MGNREGS are many times higher than those under EGS before implementation of MGNREGS.

However, as discussed above, the performance of MGNREGS in the initial years of implementation was not satisfactory and the employment generated was less than that created under EGS. It was only since 2011–12 that the performance of MGNREGS started improving. Efficiency in the usage of funds allocated for generation of employment and creation of assets would go a long way in tapping the potential of MGNREGS to improve the resource base of the agricultural sector.
