Pawan Sir's Quote

Under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS, all those who have a job card are entitled to get unskilled work. Adult members of families living in rural areas can apply to their Gram Panchayat and get an employment card.
Works under Mahatma Gandhi Narega scheme are compulsorily selected in the village assembly. A minimum of 65% of the total cost of the scheme must be spent for natural resource management works.

Under the scheme, many individual benefits including horticulture crops, Sericulture,, cattle shed, soak pit will be provided. Various categories of rural families including Scheduled Castes and Tribes, Below Poverty Line families, Small and Micro Farmers, Specially Needed are eligible to get individual benefits.

Equal work and equal pay for men and women is a significant feature of the scheme. To promote women's participation, many unique measures have been taken, including nursery development through Self Help groups, cultivation of individual nutritious gardens, concessions in workload for pregnant women and lactating mothers,, opening of childcare centres. Gender minorities are being encouraged to get work and individual benefits under the scheme by providing individual special job cards.
The scheme is contributing significantly to the economic empowerment of rural women.
