Transparency and Accountability in MGNREGA with special reference to Kashmir division of District Anantnag
Abstract
Abstract
The National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme is one of the most important employment providing schemes in India backed by legislation. For any programme to succeed it is imperative that it should be implemented effectively at all levels. Mere introduction of any programme never means the end of the problem or the achievement of the set objectives. A poorly organized programme is bound to prove to be a failure despite its massive investment because it gives rise to a number of deficiencies & inefficiencies like slow and poor decisions, lack of co-ordination among the different levels and line departments, poor specification of duties etc. The present paper makes an effort to know about the transparency and accountability features from the sample respondents and also to know how much MGNREGA workers are aware about the provision.
Keywords: Transparency, Accountability, Co-ordination
