The study entitled, “Impact Evaluation of Sampoorna Grameen Rozgar Yojana in Haryana”
was conducted by covering 2 blocks and 2 villages of two districts of Haryana (Hisar and Bhiwani)

significant association with respondent’s knowledge of SGRY. Friends, relative and neighbours acted
as main communication source for majority. Majority reported access of SGRY to half village and
unavailability of worksite facilities, reported to receive cash and average quality of food grain at the
work site as wages. Majority reported to get employment of upto 60 days, cash below the norms and
grain above the norms fortnightly. Most of the beneficiaries were fully satisfied with amount of cash
