Abstract:
Adequate employment generation is essential to generate income for the poor in the economy. In India, since 1980; government has introduced many employment generation programmes to eradicate poverty and unemployment. All these programmes were inadequate and piecemeal in their approach. Therefore, the programmes failed to make any major change on the problems of poverty and unemployment. With globalization and liberalization of the economy, it is always feared that the incidence of poverty and unemployment will increase substantially. In this context, the implementation of National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) by UPA government is the most appropriate course of action. The act was passed in September 2005 and was implemented in 200 most backward districts of the country since February 2006 NREGA is renamed as Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act Programme (MGNREGA) on 2nd October 2009. The act gives legal guarantee for at least 100 days of employment in a financial year to a rural household.The present study was focused on effectiveness of MGNREGS as perceived by its beneficiaries.
