MGNREGA status Role in poverty alleviationNamitaPradhan6
The document summarizes a seminar presentation on the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) and its role in poverty alleviation. It provides background on MGNREGA, including its history, implementation status, goals of providing 100 days of guaranteed employment. It discusses MGNREGA's role in poverty alleviation by providing income opportunities, promoting financial inclusion, and ensuring timely wage payments. Overall, MGNREGA aims to guarantee rural employment, develop rural infrastructure, and alleviate poverty across India.
The MGNREGA Act provides a legal entitlement to at least 100 days of employment per year in rural areas. It aims to enhance livelihood security by providing unskilled manual work. The program is implemented by gram panchayats, with the involvement of contractors banned. This Core Java project creates a system for Block Development Officers and Gram Panchayat Members to create projects and employees, allocate workers, calculate wages, and monitor the MGNREGA program. The system aims to computerize record keeping and implementation compared to the currently manual process, with future enhancements like automated messages and payments discussed.
Despite decades of planned development and poverty eradication programs at the national and state levels, poverty continues to persist in India. The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) has been a subject of lively debate, which aims at the ‘right to work’ enhancing the livelihood security of people in rural areas by guaranteeing hundred days of wage-employment in a financial year to a rural household who volunteer to do unskilled manual work. The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act was approved by the Indian Parliament in September 2005. It was renamed as ‘Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act’ on 2-10-2009. This Act started functioning from 2nd Feb.2006. Initially it was introduced in 200 districts of the country and later extended to all districts in the country. The main aim of this Act is to enhance the purchasing power of rural people. World Development Report 2014 termed it a "stellar example of rural development" and noted economist Amartya Sen also said it is a good Scheme for employment generation in rural areas, but it has to be reformed. This Paper is an attempt to present a review of the “Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act - With Special Reference to Telangana State.
The document discusses several remedies that governments can pursue to alleviate poverty, including:
1) Increasing savings rates by reducing spending and increasing taxes to encourage more productive investment.
2) Coordinating short and long-term investment policies to boost both immediate needs and large development projects.
3) Pursuing a balanced growth strategy across all economic sectors to stimulate overall demand and market expansion.
4) Improving human capital through expanded education, healthcare, job training, and infrastructure development.
5) Promoting industrialization and related ancillary industries to create self-sustaining growth and employment opportunities.

If you are tense for some reason, know that you are caught in the rut of unconsciousness. A spiritual seeker should wake up and relax. How can you relax till the situations change? Situations change only when you relax, look up, look within, and take refuge in the Mantra and repeat it with Love and trust in its infinite power to clear the fog of your mind and it Works!!
Each religion has its own powerful sounds that evoke the God in us. God is light. When you evoke the Light, dark forces that conspire sitting in your own mind cannot work. Unconsciousness creates the ground for the negative forces to work, and negative forces are dark, they are effective in darkness, they cannot tolerate light, can’t survive in light, so they always look for opportunities when we are off guard, a little slip from the state of consciousness and you are enveloped with dark forces!
They are not waiting outside of you to enter, they are right there inside of you in the subconscious layers of mind and till you have cleansed and purified your subconscious, they are with you like your own shadow.
Fear, anger, anxiety, tension, they are not only enemies; they are also the forces which create opportunities for all of us to rise to our Divine inheritance. If you have not gone through pain and bondage why should you ever try to rise or work to overcome them and transcend them?
Mantra is the mystic power, the tool for us to work with, the non-violent weapon to transform the diabolic forces into Divine Light and Love. Every faith tradition that has created enlightened Masters, have all used it, it is the Word, it is the Sound, and it is the primordial essence of all that is.
Never curse your negative weaknesses it only empowers them, they are mere reminders of your challenges of life. They are there, for you are born to work with them, through them, Beyond them. Yes, Mantra will do that miracle you are waiting to see in life!!

This document summarizes and critiques the key aspects of the 2015-16 Indian Union Budget. It argues that the budget favors corporate interests and the rich over the poor in several ways.

ANALYSIS OF MGNREGP IN TAMIL NADU (2011-12 TO 2018-19)IAEME Publication
The MGNREGP is an important strategy in the current economic context of global economic crisis and national economic slowdown, where raising aggregate demand is a major task for the government. Fiscal policy that provides more wage income directly to unskilled workers in the rural areas is likely to be much more effective in increasing aggregate incomes than other forms of public spending. Simultaneously, the manual work provided by the act creates sustainable assets that promote the economic and infrastructure development of the village. The main objective of the study is to analyse the various aspects of MGNEGP in Tamil Nadu, like job cards applied and issued, households and persons work demanded and allotted, percentage of caste-wise job cards issued, labour expenditure per household and person, and percentage of labour expenditure to material expenditure.
The document discusses several government schemes aimed at promoting employment and livelihood opportunities in India, including PMEGP, MGNREGA, NRLM, and NULM. PMEGP was launched in 2008 to generate employment through micro-enterprises. MGNREGA seeks to provide at least 100 days of guaranteed wage employment per rural household. NRLM aims to increase incomes of rural poor through self-help groups. NULM focuses on organizing urban poor into groups for skills training, micro-enterprises, shelter, and supporting street vendors.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

INTRODUCTION
Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) came into existence
in the year 2006. It is a scheme that is sponsored by the Central Government and its major
objective is to provide livelihood security to the poor people living in rural areas. MGNREGA
aims at providing minimum 100 days of wage employment to the rural poor. The work provided
is primarily unskilled manual work.
The Act broad objectives are as follows:
1. Improve the livelihood security of the poor by providing him with manual unskilled work
that builds the infrastructure of the beneficiary area.
2. Aim at harnessing the natural resources of the area along with making the population a
more productive population
3. Empower women by providing 1/3 of reservation from all the beneficiaries.
During the five year period from 2008-2013, a total amount of Rs 36420 crore was invested
under the MGNREGA program. The major purpose of studying MGNREGA is to understand the
overall impact of the scheme. A huge amount of resource was invested in program
implementation and it is essential for the Government as well the policy makers to understand
the overall impact of the program after 9 years.
MGNREGA scheme has been a partial success. As per the data shared by Jayati Ghosh-Professor
of Economics Jawaharlal Nehru University stated that over 50 million household have been
covered under the scheme at quite a low government expenditure that comes to 0.3% of total
GDP. Majority of the beneficiaries are women with about close to Half are either Dalits or
Adivasis. The reason for its partial success is that the program has been plagued by corruption ,
less number of poor districts covered and lower budget allocation to the program.
The structure of the paper is as follows
1. Introduction of MGNREGA explaining when it came into existence, the purpose behind
its existence
2. In introduction, briefly explaining about the success of the program.
3. Analyze the 10-year impact of the program.
4. Analyze the reasons for the partial success of the MGNREGA scheme.
5. Recommendations on the future implementation of the scheme
4. MGNREGA DESIGN & IMPLEMENTATION 4
The paper will not only help us understand the current impact of the scheme but will also help us
analyze where the scheme can be improved to have a long term economic benefit.
MGNREGA Until Now
The Eleventh Five year plan had estimated that India would have nearly 30 Crore people living
below poverty line, and that the number of people below poverty line had in fact increased in
most states of India. As of today, MGNREGA covers all of rural India.
Performance Parameters:
The brief expenditure report and some performance parameters are presented at ANNEXURE-I.
The amounts spent and the correlation between Number of households covered and the number
of poor people in that particular state. Out of the total release form the government of
Rs.23579.18 crores, out of that only Rs.18270.14 had been spent on wages, ANNEXURE-II..
This gives an idea of the scale at which MGNREGA operates. In the financial year 2012-13, a
total of 4.16 Crore households were given employment and 141 crore persondays of employment
were generated
.
5. MGNREGA DESIGN & IMPLEMENTATION 5
Problems with the Scheme:
Looking Closely at the data we see that:
We can see that the actual spend on the scheme has not increased rather it declined in the last
year. Also looking at the graph below we see that apart from states like UP, Bihar, Maharashtra
and Odisha, all other states show positive correlation between the No. of households covered and
No. of poor.
6. MGNREGA DESIGN & IMPLEMENTATION 6
There is also the issue of mismanagement of funds, as funds were released by the center without
adjusting the unspent balance.
and excess release of funds by the government:
7. MGNREGA DESIGN & IMPLEMENTATION 7
What are the main causes for the problem (long term and short term)?
The main problem facing MGNREGA is the effective implementation of the program at ground
level. Some of the long term and short term problem classification are as follows.
Short term problems:
1. Inadequate Awareness
One of the major challenges is that a rural poor gets the right to demand for work for a
period of 100 days but the average number of workdays generated under this scheme is
less than 50. The main problems is that government has failed to generate enough demand
under this scheme. During the period of 2009-2010 a severe drought year only 54 days of
work per household was generated. People have no awareness about the basic facilities
under MGNREGA such as job cards, minimum wage account, and unemployment
allowance. One of the plausible solution to the problem is training the government officials
so that they can create awareness among the rural population.
2. Discrimination
“This scheme has facilitated people to earn their income without any gender bias or
discrimination. But a large number of cases have been reported of discrimination from
backward regions of the country. Woman are told that work meant under the scheme is not
meant for them since it involves hard labour. Thus Government needs to work at the
grassroot level to solve the problem of discrimination.”
Long term Problems:
1. Unplanned implementation of the scheme: Other than the Karnataka and West
Bengal panchayat the other panchayats in the country have no experience in
implementing such a large level scheme such as MGNREGA. Central and State
government representatives stated that the entire budget of Rs 40000 crore spent on the
program can be better used with a proper structural implementation to the program.
2. Difficulty in financing the scheme: The budget set aside for financing MGNREGA
started with a total allocation of Rs 11300 crore in the year 2006-2007 as is currently
8. MGNREGA DESIGN & IMPLEMENTATION 8
estimated at about Rs 35000 crore. But the decrease in tax-GDP ratio over the years
has proved to be major roadblock in financing the scheme.
Tax-GDP Ratio
2007-2008- 0.12
2010-2011- 0.10
2015-2016- 0.09
3. High Level of Corruption
“It has been clearly revealed by statistics that due to high level corruption a very
minimal amount reaches the worker. Bribes as high as Rs 50 are paid in order to
procure a job card.”
Other cases of corruption are fake muster roll entries, over writing, false name etc.
key approaches to resolve the problem (such as policies and programs)
1. To avoid payment delay- To ensure that the payment to the rural area is given on time,
an SMS alert is being setup . This will allow to constantly keep a check on the muster as
to whose payment is made and whose is remaining. This idea has already been
implemented in the year 2014 and has shown significant results. For instance Timely
payment increased from 28% in 2014 to 70% in 2015. [Reference Link -

pdf]
2. Protection of the entitlements of rural workers:
Government is looking to regularly contact Rozgar Diwas atleast once in a month to
address the grievances of the workers such as Job card,minimum employment allowance
etc. Structured Planning- According to the government report of MGNREGA round up of
2014-2015 and way ahead of 2015 new work areas have been identified for execution
during 2015-2016

Conclusion:
We see that massive amount of funds have been pumped into MGNREGA over the past
few years, and due to a multitude of factors like ineffective delivery of funds, inefficient training
of manpower managing the operations, release of excess funds from the central government and
corruption among the contractors, the efficiency of the scheme has been severely affected.
Inspite of pumping in nearly 156000 crores the improvement in the number of poor has not been
improved to a desirable extent.
It is our suggestion that, instead of concentrating entirely on temporary employment of
100 days per family, the huge amount of investment going into the scheme can be used to plan
out some modifications where there is development of a skill building center in the villages and
thereafter some assistance in setting up their own cottage industries. This will not only prove to
provide them employment in the short run, but would make them self sufficient in the long run as
well. But the implementation and planning of such an elaborate plan needs commitment and
extensive planning and coordination among the Village Panchayats, State governments and the
Center, but it is beneficial in the long term to develop permanent capabilities for the rural poor
then try to feed them on a daily basis by spending lakhs of crores as per the current plan of
implementation.
