520 |a Even after sixty years of the planning era in the country, the situation of the rural poor could not be improved to the desired level. Though the percentage of population living below the poverty line declined from 45.3 per cent in 1951-52 to 27.5 per cent in 2004-05, the rural poverty rate stood at 28.3 per cent as against 47.4 per cent in 1951-52. Though the unemployment rate in the rural areas was lower, the higher incidence of poverty, especially in the rural areas of the country was a burning issue before the policy makers to remedy. Evidently, all the erstwhile employment programmes in the country upto 2005 were either discontinued or merged with other programmes as they could not produce the desired results in employment generation and poverty reduction. The last among the series of wage employment programmes is the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Programme (Mahatma Gandhi NREGA).Obviously, as an ambitious programme targeting the acute unemployment problem of the country, the efficient and effective implementation of the programme assumes pivotal importance. The study looked into the process of registration of beneficiaries under the Scheme and the issue and management of Job card. The highly positive perception score of the beneficiaries in this regard indisputably confirms the existence of a trouble-free and efficient process of Job Card registration and management in Kerala.
