Book Description
Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Topic: Development Politics, , language: English, abstract: This paper investigates how the employment generating scheme MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) is different from other employment generating scheme and finds how MGNREGA is supporting economic development by creating community/productive assets at the level of villages. Since 2000, India has experienced rapid economic growth and a sharp decline in poverty. But employment has grown more slowly. Government intervened in the economy through the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, which provides employment to unskilled workers in rural areas besides creating community/productive assets at the level of village such as wells, tanks, ponds, roads etc. This programme is designed to provide income protection against poverty in rural area. The choice of works under MGNREGA seeks to address the causes of chronic poverty such as drought, deforestation and soil erosion. MGNREGA is different from other employment and poverty alleviation programme in the sense that it is a legal framework and right to work based programme. This is a paradigm shift from its earlier programmes for it is a bottom-up, demand driven structure with built-in social audits.

Book Description
The National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) which was renamed as Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) in 2009 is a flagship employment guarantee programme of the Government of India (GoI). Implemented by the GoI in the year 2005-06, this programme is considered as a game changer in the realm of Indian development practice because of it's rights based approach and comprehensive geographical and social coverage. It has been a year short to a decade that this programme is in operation and has undergone a number of administrative and other changes including new additions with respect to it's cardinal features of administration, operation, scope of work and class of beneficiaries. Assam has been implementing the scheme from the 1st phase of it's implementation. Undertaking the matching methodology-Propensity Score Matching (PSM) and Difference in Difference (D-in-D) methods, this paper analyses the impact of MGNREGA on two of the very important dimensions of development i.e. employment and social capital formation. It's findings clearly support the positive impact of MGNREGA on these two variables and find them to be critical too. It also in a simple way validates MGNREGA's implicit claim to be regarded as novel development practice based on the contemporary concept of development (i.e. sustainable development) and approach (i.e. capability approach) to development.

Book Description
This book offers an assessment of the performance, impact, and welfare implications of the world’s largest employment guarantee programme, the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). Launched by the Indian government, the programme covers entire rural area of the country. The book presents various micro-level analyses of the programme and its heterogeneous impacts at different scales, almost a decade after its implementation. While there are some doubts over the future of the scheme as well as its magnitude, nature and content, the central government appears committed to it, as a ‘convergence scheme’ of various other welfare and rural development programmes being implemented at both national and state level. The book discusses the outcomes of the programme and offers critical insights into the lessons learnt, not only in the context of India, but also for similar schemes in countries in South and South-East Asia as well as in Africa, and Latin America. Adopting inter-disciplinary perspectives in analysing these issues, this unique book uses a judicious mix of methods---integrating quantitative and qualitative tools---and will be an invaluable resource for analysts, NGOs, policymakers and academics alike.
