A MICRO LEVEL STUDY ON THE IMPACTS OF THE SOCIO ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT ON EMPLOYMENT AND INCOME OF MGNREGA BENEFICIARIES IN TAMILNADU

ABSTRACT

MGNREGA is thought to be the answer to ending rural poverty and employment by stimulating the demand for skilled labourers in Indian villages. The MGNREGA programme is the most effective programme ever launched in India to alter rural livelihoods. The NREGA is, in a number of ways, an exact clone of past plans with a legal guarantee. In contrast to previous programmes, MGNREGA is demand-driven. MGNREGA is a signi?cant step towards the rural poor's social security system. The MGNREGA is the nation's largest employment programme that is constantly in operation and has received signi?cant public funding. Because of this, the current study uses primary data from MGNREGA bene?ciaries in Tamilnadu to examine the effects of the socioeconomic environment on their employment and income. This assessment is then veri?ed using percentage analysis, paired t-tests, and multiple regression models
