Abstract :

The study was undertaken in Thane district of Maharashtra to elicit the constraints perceived by the stakeholders involved from village to district levels in effective implementation of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) and their opinion to overcome these constraints. The study revealed that the constraints perceived by majority of beneficiaries were late payment of wages, non–payment of wages in the form of grains, non– provision of 100 days work, long distances of work sites and delay in allotment of works and their suggestions to overcome these problems were timely payment of wages, payment of wages in cash and grains, fulfillment of 100 days employment guarantee, provision of works through Gram Panchayat nearer to the residence and timely allotment of works. The constraints perceived by majority of People�s Representatives were illiteracy of the people, absence of Village Monitoring Committee, lack of co–operation and conflicts between groups of people, allocation of less number of works through Gram Panchayat, and limited work activities to be under taken in MGNREGS which may not be available at the village level. The constraints perceived by majority of Officials from village to district levels involved in MGNREGS implementation were non– availability of staff on contract basis, non– availability of funds in time and more and weak documentation.
