NREGS and Child Well Being
Published By: IGIDR on eSS | Published Date: January, 31 , 2011There have been many evaluation studies on the impact of NREGS but there are hardly any systematic
studies relating to impact of the scheme on children. This paper tries to fill this gap. There is a huge
literature on awareness, implementation problems, impact on the livelihoods, women, migration,
agricultural wages, marginalized sections etc. This paper makes use of some of the in-depth studies on
various States of India. We have also undertaken a limited focus group discussion in Rajasthan on the
implementation and impact of the scheme on women and children. [WP-2011-004]
