AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF THE POVERTY ALLEVIATION THROUGH MGNREGP PROGRAMME AMONG THE RURAL POOR IN TIRUCHIRAPPALLI DISTRICT

Mrs. S. Jayanthi, Dr. P. Soundararajan

Abstract :

Rural development has been receiving increasing attention of the governments across the world. In the Indian context rural development assumes special significance for two important reasons. First about two thirds of the population still lives in villages and there cannot be any progress so long as rural areas remain backward. Second, the backwardness of the rural sector would be a major impediment to the overall progress of the economy.
