CHAPTER -1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Unemployment is a colossal wastage of human resource of a country. It is theseverest form of curse on the life of an individual of working age. It breeds poverty andinequality in the society. Loss of income could be compensated by income support.
The importance of reducing unemployment has been recognized by the GOI sincelong. One of the major objectives of national planning in India is to reduce
unemployment in the country.
Our employment policy should cover two major goals: Reducing underemployment byincreasing the rate of growth of the gainfully employed and reducing
unemployment on the basis of usual status commonly known as open unemployment.
During the plan period many programmes and policies of employmentgeneration have been adopted and implemented. All these programmes have been madewith only partial success. The reasons for less than full success are many. The year 2006
is a landmark in the history of exacting legislation for guaranteeing employment to theunemployed in rural areas of India. It saw the enactment of NREGA. This Act provides
for 100 days of guaranteed employment in a year to a rural family seeking employment.This act has raised a lot of hope among the rural poor and also to the people concernedwith the welfare of the unemployed people in rural areas.
Lal (Bagchi,2007) deals with theoretical and empirical aspects of poverty inIndias measures for poverty reduction including employment generation programmes
(EGP). They have suggested a holistic approach for reduction of poverty and improvehuman development level of people.

Pant Joshi (Bagchi,2007) has brought out the details of the major povertyalleviation and employment generation programmes in India. She holds that as growth
with equity is inescapable, we have to try to redress the difficulties in the povertyalleviation schemes to make them more effective.
Gogna (Bagchi,2007) has assessed the effectiveness of the poverty alleviationand special EGP in India. She opines that special employment guarantee programmes can
be successfully implemented with the involvement of people, NGOs, self-help groupsand local institutions since they are close to grassroots.
Bhagawati (Bagchi,2007) has made a critical review of the poverty alleviationand special employment programmes in India and has suggested measures to solve the
problems of poverty and unemployment.
Jothis(Rao and lillemann, 1996) discusses the causes of unemployment,
different facets of unemployment and employment strategy under five year plan. She hasalso suggested for explaining employment opportunities.
Hariram and Vigneswarans suggest (Rao and lillemann, 1996) that the
employment programmes should have a twin objective of creating productive assets (or
increasing production) and providing job opportunities.
1.2 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY:
In the late 1960s, it was realized that the benefits of growth of the economy
were not trickling down to the poorer section of the society to the desiredextend. As a result, the government of India began to implement a verity of
poverty eradication and employment generation programs. However,
assessment of these programs revealed certain short coming. The major shortcomings of this program were of two types. One was the problem of leakage
and the other was the problem of targeting. The government schemes were
targeted towards the poor. But often relatively richer households took advantage
of this program. Therefore, the scheme should be such that it createsdisincentives for richer households to joint the program. The problem of leakage
is that a part of the money was taken away by vested interest groups. As a
result, poverty alleviation programs suffered. MG-NREGS which wasinfluenced by employment guarantee scheme of Maharastra tried to address
these problems. The present study is an effort to find out whether the problem of
targeting is being address in Tripura by MG-NREGS

CHAPTER-5: CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESSIONS
The major findings from the study are as follows:
1. Most worker (males and females) belong to age 25-62.From the age 66 there is no participation
of male and female workers. No child labour was found .
2. More than 85% worker (male and female) are married.
3. Most workers are farmers and daily labourers.
4. Households Income before applying for the Job Card and after getting the employment is equa
is improved though marginally.
Some suggestions are:
1. Easier work should be given to aged persons.
2. It should be studied why farmers come for such work. Agriculture is perhaps becoming lessremunerative for marginal farmers.
