Abstract

The Employment Guarantee Scheme (EGS) of Maharashtra provides a useful model of how to attack directly the problem of poverty in rural areas. What is needed is a decision regarding the kind of projects that should come under the EGS. Intelligent definition of the ‘productivity’ of projects and their efficient administration form the nucleus of the success of the programme. It is a formidable problem in the management of so vast an ad hoc labour force spread over a huge area and involving constant ad hoc and instantaneous arrangements for finance. It is a challenge to the intelligence of this country.
