Assess The Performance Of MGNREGA

Decent Essays
An important parameter that can help assess the performance of MGNREGA using the official data is the average person days generated by state in a year. The average days of employment generated per household should be calculated on the basis of total number of households provided employment rather than the total number of registered households. We believe that average person days created per household who demanded employment is an important indicator of MGNREGA performance, because employment generation for the rural poor is the fundamental objective of the Act. Our analysis of performance in MGNREGA in terms of generating average person-days per rural household varies widely across states during 2006-2011. During this period, the households

Also, in how other more powerful countries see developing countries.

    After reading the chapter, Children and Poverty: Breaking the Vicious Cycle, I have gained an additional approach for tackling the issue of poverty and inequity in the world. Before tackling the issue, it is crucial for all to understand the extent of poverty in separate parts of the world. In other words, individuals should understand what poverty looks in different families or countries. Things to consider may be, on average, the amount of children or families that are impacted by the issue and areas where they are more disadvantaged. Poverty does not look the same for all families in all countries of the world; some families are able to cope with it more effectively, while others are barely able to survive.…
