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.

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.
