Abstract

The “little known” success story of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) has unfolded as a disaster. During 2007-08 and 2011-12, more than 22 million works were taken up under the programme, mostly related to water and soil conservation. These works were supposed to trigger agrarian revival, helping small and marginal farmers. But a recent audit report of the programme by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) finds the works redundant. Close to 70 per cent of these works were never completed.
