The application of RTI can act as a deterrent against misutilization of funds meant for rural development programmes. Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) aims to provide 100 days of guaranteed wage employment to every rural households18. Social Audit and pro-active disclosure are its prominent feature to ensure to transparency and accountability in the implementation act. However, If these tools are accompanied by active application of RTI,these can bridge the gap in the implementation of this historical legislation. Thus it can play a significant role in effective implementation of act and proper utilization of funds. Considering the advantages of RTI, it becomes clear that act need to be strengthened. The following

Energy Inc. has a present obligation (IAS 37-17) and probable liability (ASC 450-20-25-2) on December 31, 2011 as a result of a past event, the contamination of the land, because it is virtually certain that a draft law requiring cleaning up will be enacted. It is probable (more likely than not) that Energy Inc. will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement which is an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits in settlement (IAS 37-23). The amount of the obligation or loss can also be estimated reliably since Energy Inc. has made similar payments for cleanup in other countries, which is the best estimate of the costs of the clean (IAS 37-36/ASC 450-20-25-2). As a result, according to IAS 37-14, Energy

After read all the information from the website, I was so excited to know that there are people who really did some projects which could help us fulfill our goal of end poverty. Maybe you will ask me why I believe girl could be the key to end poverty. To be honest, at first I also thought girl it is too idealistic. However, gender equity is also a determent of a country’s development. By helping girls, everyone will get benefits in their communities, including their brothers, fathers, future husbands and

Women in Sub-Saharan African should work more in that there is an increase in the number of women participating in agriculture, as most men have resorted to work in non- agricultural activities.

Globally the World Health Organization is tackling infant mortality through social determinants collaborated in the article, Impact of Non-Health Policies on Infant Mortality Through the Social Determinants Pathway. In this article studies performed in India indicate that poverty and income are associated to their infant mortality rates. What India has done is employed the government's Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act to target “ unemployment and underemployment, and therefore poverty, by providing at least 100 days of guaranteed paid employment every year to households whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work” (Nair, 2011). This program is designed to have a domino effect on the economy by income, structural, and behavioral elements such as “better housing and living conditions, food security, access to clean water and proper sanitation, access to health care, infant care and feeding practices that influence the proximal risk factors of infant mortality – malnutrition, diarrhoea and acute respiratory infections”(Nair, 2011). Evidence of this program on the effects of infant mortality are premature and not calculate yet, however India’s government is confident that it will achieve its intended target of reducing infant

We have made some changes to compensate for the expansion of the watershed and the interest of many producers. These changes include each producer can sign up to receive cost share for a maximum of 200 acres per practice, the nitrification inhibitor (N-Serve) cost

The programme has been lengthened and modified, enduring several political transitions. A growing number of developing countries have introduced (CCT) programs – poverty alleviation programs that provide funds to adult women in households in exchange for a certain actions such as children’s school attendance, school performance, and preventive health care visits (Rawlings and Rubio 2003: Maluccio and Flores). This was giving women finical power, which weren’t always in the favorable with the husbands, which led to violence and households having issues. Women might become creditworthy and hence more susceptible to getting into debt, and subsidy growths their dependence rather than promoting a livelihood. The PROGRESA CCT programme incorporates stated principles of: gender equality, the importance of improving daughters and mothers' educational levels, and of women's personal development, leadership and citizenship. Only two programme evaluations have pursued to understand gender impacts on all household members, rather than focusing specifically on the

The Mahatama Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, (MGNREGA), was launched in September, 2005. This act has been considered as one of the significant developments which could transform the rural economy and provide social security to the rural people.

In India, poverty is a terrifying issue. Over the years, the rates of the those suffering from the inability of having access to the essentials of life have fluctuated. The government of India has launched several programs to alleviate the poverty. First of all, the government has relied on three approaches for reduction of poverty. According to Smriti Chand, these include: 1) quest of higher economic growth, 2) direct anti-poverty programs and 3) high priority to government expenditure on social sectors, (2014). Most importantly, some of the programs that have been launched are: Antyodaya Plan and the Twenty Point Program. These are two of the twenty-one programs that’s have been created to resolve poverty in India. The Antyyodaya Plan is one that is designed to provide subsidized food to millions of poor families. This was launched by the NDA

For the destitute poor, the failure of governments to satisfy the citizens’ most basic needs further decreases their chance to improve their situation. Eradicating poverty should, therefore, start with an all-out effort to provide every man, woman and child with the essentials for one’s well-being and development: education, health care, drinking water, and adequate nutrition. Special attention should be given to the most vulnerable groups: children, women, and the elderly. The main priority should be to ensure that children receive the care and assistance needed to develop their full physical and mental potential. Although this may require a reorientation of economic, fiscal and developmental policies, it is by no means impossible. All it requires is, in rich as well as poor countries, the political will to foot the bill and get to work.

For overcoming the problem related to PDS one should give emphasis to universal public distribution system as in other state of India such as Kerala, Chhattisgarh and Tamil Nadu instead of targeted public distribution system (TPDS). The reason is, in TPDS one has to target the beneficiaries to find out who deserves BPL category and who deserves APL category and it is in the process of targeting where the biasness and corruption starts. But when the distribution system becomes universal means everyone is eligible corruption declines because it reduces the power of authorities to do corruption through colluding and divergence and leakage of foodgrains also decline manifold. Moreover, rich will be automatically excluded because he do not have enough times to come to the ration shop, stand in line and wait for his turn to purchase the grain but real poor can wait for its turn.
