Imprints and Status of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) in Azamgarh District, Uttar Pradesh A General Review

The study has done in Azamgarh district where the problem of unemployment, poverty, malnutrition and undernutrition is in very considerable amount to hurdle the development, but Mgnrega is the hope for the people to some extent that tackle the same by their muster roll. To know the representative coverage of the scheme the present study has done and collected the secondary sources of datafrom the Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India, to focused on the Expenditure level, Projects run under the scheme, Job Cards issued, Household provided employment and Person- days generated under the scheme for the financial year of 2018-19. In this study we found that the implementation pattern of Mgnrega is not in the favor of BPL (SC and ST) workers rather it serves their all ways to the others category of people caused by thefake job cards issued, faulty measures and involvement of the contractors, therefore, the finding has the implications, that there is a need to government has the responsibility to prohibit the all those who have done the fraud in this regards and provide transparency to the workers for their every bit of works as well as their payment.
