| dc.description.abstract | The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) was notified on 7th September 2005 and implemented in 200 districts of the country during the year 2006-2007 and was extended to additional 130 districts in 2007-2008. It was renamed as Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) on 2nd October, 2009. A total of 615 districts in the country are covered under MGNREGA till 2010-2011. The basic objective of the Act is to enhance livelihood security in rural areas by providing at least 100 days of guaranteed wage employment in a financial year to every household creating rural assets for the sustainable development of an agricultural and natural resource based economy. The study was conducted in Dhalai district of Tripura state during 2010-2011. Dhalai district was purposively selected for the study because MGNREGA programme was firstly implemented during 2006-2007 in Tripura. Totally, 150 beneficiaries were randomly selected from three villages of Kulai Gram Panchayat in Ambassa block of Dhalai district. It was found that 50 per cent of the respondents had favourable attitude towards MGNREGA programme. On the contrary, 36 and 14 per cent of the respondents had neutral and unfavourable attitude towards MGNREGA programme, respectively. The overall mean value of standard of living before MGNREGA was found to be 36.55 as compared to 60.16 after the implementation of MGNREGA programme indicating an increase of 65 per cent after the implementation of the MGNREGA programme. Out of different dimensions of standard of living, the employment generation increased by 168 per cent followed by annual income (149%), food consumption pattern (116%), investment on social function(96%), investment on savings (91%) and investment on assets (86%). The most important problems faced by the MGNREGA beneficiaries were providing employment of hundred days was too less (72%) in the present situation followed by lack of medical facilities (70%), delayed wage payment (69%). | en_US |
