Community Based Organisations (CBO) involved in grassroots work such as SHGs, watershed committees, water user groups and the like may be actively involved in different processes related to MGNREGS. Some of the activities for which CBOs may be engaged are listed below:

• Creating awareness about the programme and mobilising needy workers to raise demand for work.
• Supporting PRIs in micro level planning and convergence with other schemes/programme.
• Helping to identify mates for organising works under the programme.
• Providing support services like lending implements and setting up the on-site facilities as envisaged in the Act.
• Providing suitable volunteers to be trained as barefoot engineers or barefoot auditors.
• Providing skilled labour or persons who could be trained as skilled workers.
• Facilitating Social Audit especially by providing volunteers.
• Community-based monitoring of the programme.
• Coordinating registering of grievances and follow-up their redressal as a people’s collective.

• States to issue detailed guidelines in the form of a Hand Book to enable Panchayats at different levels to perform the roles and responsibilities.
• Cluster Facilitation Teams and Voluntary Technical Corps should be provided for groups of Village Panchayats.
• To provide additional support, Community Resource Persons, both on the technical as well as on the accounting and audit side may be attached to Village Panchayats. They may be drawn from the SHGs and suitably trained and assigned necessary powers and responsibilities.
• The 6 per cent provision for administrative cost should be apportioned to the Panchayats also according to the need to meet additional expenditure on staffing, procuring stationery and so on.
• The State should work out a formal partnership between the Village Panchayats and the network of SHGs.
• The Labour Groups formed under MGNREGS should work in association with the Village Panchayats and Intermediate Panchayats.
• The process of decentralised planning should be integrated with the preparation of the Labour Budget to ensure local priorities taken into account even while generating employment for the workers.
• To harmonise the processes and procedures of MGNREGS with those prescribed under the State Panchayati Raj Acts a detailed operating systems may be laid down
• Progress of MGNREGS should be reviewed once in a month by each level of Panchayat.
• A Help Desk may be set up in SIRDs with helplines to provide facility to Panchayats to get information on different aspects of the Scheme and to clarify doubts.

The magnitude of charge on a proton or an electron (e = 1.6 x 10¹⁹c) is called elementary charge. Since protons and electrons are only basic charged particles in a matter, the charge on an object must be integral multiple of ±e(1.6×10¹⁹c), i.e. the charge possessed by an object cannot be a fraction of +e. Mathematically, the charge on any matter must be equal to q = ±ne, where n is an integer.

(a) Electric charge of a body is quantized. This means that only integral (1, 2… n) number of electrons can be transferred from one body to the other. Charges are not transferred in fraction. Hence, a body possesses total charge only in integral multiples of electric charge.
(b) In macroscopic or large scale charges, the charges used are huge as compared to the magnitude of electric charge. Hence, quantization of electric charge is of no use on macroscopic scale. Therefore, it is ignored and it is considered that electric charge is continuous.
