| Summary: | MGNREGA was launched as a wage
employment programme to strengthen the
livelihood resource base of the poor. It
equally aims to strengthen grassroot
democracy by giving Gram Sabha all the
powers
related
to
planning,
implementation and monitoring of the
work under it. This study finds that in
Rajasthan this programme continues to
be supply driven and the participation
of marginalised groups like scheduled
castes, scheduled tribes and women is
high. But their participation in democratic
forums where decisions are taken is
very low. In Gram sabha it is upper
castes who dominate discussions and
decisions. Real participation in taking key
decisions which empowers people and
which gives them a sense of ownership
of the programme has not happened in
the study area. |
