The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act

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

Historians today debate the extent which the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933 improved the lives of American farmers in the years after the law was enacted. Some historians maintain that this part of the New Deal was a successful program that helped relieve farmers from the pressure of the Great Depression. However, other historians argue that the benefits received from the Agricultural Adjustment Act exclusively benefited large farms and severely disadvantaged tenant farmers, or sharecroppers, and therefore worsening the effects of the Great Depression.

The Labor Unions protect their workers in many different ways people do not know. The Unions make it possible for their members to receive adequate pay better benefits, have left of absences, and have vacation time when you ask and not take the punishment for it. Once you are in the union books it is hard to be fired from it. There is a downside of it, you can be laid off which is not being fired.

The career I would like to pursue would be farming. Farming is not an easy thing to do there are multiple risks you must take. To be a good farmer you must have knowledge of advanced technology and keep up to date with the latest and greatest technology in order to progress and must also have business skills as well as hands on experience on a farm. Farmers salary will never be the same year to year, the market will determine when and how much you get for your product, if there is a surplus of corn form the previous year then the market price will be very low, making your income also low. The median annual income of most farmers and ranchers was about $61,000 in 2010, according to the U.S. bureau of Labor Statistics. The top ten percent of

The Agricultural Adjustment Act in Great Depression Era in 1933 was a the United States federal law, part of the New Deal, which reduced agricultural production by paying farmers subsidies not to plant on part of their land and to kill off excess livestock. Its purpose was to reduce crop surplus in order to effectively raise the value of crops. This act represented a transformation about government’s role playing in the country. Before the period, the government only taxed import or export; it didn’t touch economy. But the AAA showed that government started to have power to change its economy.

It is no question that agricultural workers have one of the most mentally and physically demanding jobs in the world. This was especially true for farmers in 1932, because of an abundance of food in the market that could not be consumed or sold in a depressed world market. As the prices of crops grown by farmers hit all time lows the Agricultural Adjustment Act was established in hopes of restoring the purchasing power of farmers. By reducing surpluses in crops and other commodities, and giving farmers cash payments for controlling how much crops they would grow the Agricultural Adjustment Act proved to overall help increase the value of crops ultimately increasing the purchasing power of farmers and enhancing their quality of life.

Farmers values you as a client and would hate to lose your business. Hopefully we can configure a few of the coverages to modify your premiums.

The Enclosure Act was a major contributing factor to the Agricultural Advancements made during the Second Agricultural Revolution. The Enclosure Act encourage the consolidation of farmland into large fields that were held by single owners. This allowed for farmers to have bigger farms and to increase their crop rotation. Consequently, The Enclosure Act improved soil fertilization, crop care, and harvesting

The idea for this project is to bring opportunity to the residents of RuralEdge through education, while developing leaders, supporting resident groups and building community, within the selected RuralEdge properties. Some educational classes will include financial security, avoiding lease violations, economic opportunities, and adult learning courses either credited or certificate. This project can result an opportunity for the local resident group; Neighbors Helping Neighbors to offer their resources to other residents. The free or reduced classes facilitated by RuralEdge staff members, residents, and outside facilitators. A great opportunity for creating an intergenerational community will begin with the after school youth program. Providing

By nature employment is classified into part time and full time. The study of the nature of employment helps in assessing the magnitude of workforce fully reliant on earning from the IMS. This is discussed with Table 1 given below. More than 80% of workers are found to be engaged as full time workers (FTW) at the national level. However a trend of sinking part of FTW is observed with a increasing share of the part time workers (PTW). Dominance of male employment over the female employment is observed both for the category of PTW as well as the FTW. Gender wise distribution of employment shows that the share of both the full time male workers (FTMW) and full time female workers (FTFW) have decreased in 1994-95 and then continuously increased in 2005-06. Part time male workers (PTMW) shows declining share over the entire period, whereas the part time female workers (PTFW) shows an increasing share during the same period. A discussion on the growth of employment by nature and gender revealed the fact that growth rate of the FTW as well as PTW was higher during early reform period as compared to the later reform period, at the national level. The FTW suffered a negative growth during the later period, which causes the overall growth of the FTW to be lower. The growth of the PTW at all India level is higher. The category of PTW, PTFW is growing at a slower rate, but is higher than the growth rate of PTMW at the

employment with 15 days. If the person does not get employment, the state govt. is required to pay an unemployment allowance. The act does not permit the use of contractors which were a major source of exploitation for the rural poor. With respect to labour intensive works, a ratio of 60:40 is to be maintained. The schedule 11 of the act gives a list of the permissible works under MGNREGA, most of which relate to water-conservation, irrigation and flood-protection etc.

From the above table, it is inferred that 33% of the respondents have a family income of below Rs.5000 per month, 36% of them have a family income of Rs.5000 to 10000 while 31% earn above 10,000 per month but nobody crosses Rs. 15,000.

At least, now alert citizens can slow down corrupt officers and politicians.Third, Indian politics will hopefully mature as more information passes through the hands of political rivals, police, judiciary, media and the people. The Act will reveal who is exploiting whom and how one can get justice for the poor and the needy. The judiciary will now have better data to decide against the corrupt.That sounds so far flung, doesn't it? Let us start from the district level. If the road leading to your town is washed out in the first rains of the season, you might like to ask who was given the contract to build that road, at what price and what the terms and conditions were.Was the contractor related to a Member of Parliament or a member of legislative assembly in that area? During the building of that road, did any government officer object to any deficiency or malpractice? Was there any communication in this regard? The concerned departments will have to come up with answers in the stipulated period.
