Inclusive MGNREGA Social Audits

The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) was envisioned as a strategy to end migration from rural areas by providing deprived households with 100 days of work every year. However, even though the people had heard of this flagship government initiative, they had no idea of how to obtain work under it. PACS has been working to increase awareness about, demand for and participation in MGNREGA, especially amongst socially excluded groups. Social audits are a process to monitor and evaluate MGNREGA works, ensuring that they are being carried out inclusively, fairly and in line with each village’s annual MGNREGA plan. PACS has developed an inclusive social audit model that involves all community members in the process, allowing people not only able to raise their issues concerning MGNREGA, but also to interact directly with MGNREGA officials at a public hearing. As a result, people have regained their belief in the scheme and are not just demanding work through it, but also ensuring its sound implementation.
