Description
It has been observed that only rural development can take off India from a developing to developed state. For this purpose, the Government of India has been introducing various rural development schemes/plans during five yearly plan periods, since independence. An introduction of any plan/scheme is not the end; its successful implementation is the right approach to achieve the targeted goal. The introduction of National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) in the Tenth Plan, through a parliamentary act is one such big scheme which is operational till date in all part of India. Now, questions arise whether this very alluring scheme is being rightly implemented and whether the scheme requires a greater degree of monitoring for successful implementation. The present study is an attempt to find any lacunae in the implementation of the scheme at the grass root level such as a Block or Panchayat level and to suggest policy measures to enhance the quality of applicability of the scheme.
