MNREGA:Paradigm Shift in Employment Generation Programme in India

This is a research based empirical study to assess the impact of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA), unique demand driven employment generation programme, which guarantees 100 days per year assured employment in agriculturally lean season in India. The model questioner developed for this study may be of immense use to conduct farther research in the developing countries like India and assess the impact of the developmental programmes of their country. Students of social sciences, academicians and policy makers will get help in formulating developmental projects in their priority areas. The shortfalls identified in implementation of the programme at grass root level will act as guiding principle for future rectification of such endeavour.
