Right to Work and Rural India
Working of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS)
by Pankaj, Ashok K
Description
This comprehensive book is an attempt to understand the working of the operational part of this act-the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Scheme (MGNREGS). The expert contributors to this book have presented evidences of implementation and impact of the scheme across India, including both agriculturally developed states and the backward ones, and states where the scheme is better implemented as well as those where it is not. Their essays go on to explain the meaning, context, issues and development policy implications of MGNREGS through theoretical and empirical papers, thus providing answers to questions regarding:
1. the timing and purpose of the legislation, and the design and structure of the programme,
2. desirability of state-sponsored employment programmes in the era of liberalisation, and
3. the likely impacts of such a massive wage employment and public works programme.
This volume offers an insight into the changing thrust of India's anti-poverty programme and her experiments with various employment schemes.
