Dr. B. Raveendra Naik, Dr. M. Venkata Kumar

Abstract :

NREGS has become a trendsetter for public expenditure on poverty reduction. It has become a growth stimulus in the era of economic recession in India. As a right based scheme the first of its kind in India it has helped to a great extent to raise the quality of life in rural India and became instrumental to improve conservation and development of natural resources of the country. As a majority of the workers are females it is becoming a programme for raising the social status of women and their visibility has increased considerably because of this scheme. The most important short coming is that the average number of wok days provided is only around 60 and the unspent budget outlay is around 40 percent.
