The employment scheme worked as a lifeline for rural Indian households during the COVID-19 pandemic

Lack of awareness and complexity of application process hold women back from applying for work under the central government’s Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), according to a recent report.

Women beneficiaries struggled to enrol in the scheme, the report suggested. Most of them found enrolling for work a complex and time-consuming process. Moreover, limited availability of work added to their woes.

The report titled The state of rural employment: A look at MGNREGS across 5 states in India was published by Dalberg Associates — a social impact advisory group. The report is based on the data from — Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh.

Some 50 per cent of beneficiaries who got work under the scheme in 2022 are women, according to the Management Information System portal.

About 26 per cent of women who wanted MGNREGS work were unable to apply as they could not completely understand the application process, the findings noted. The numbers account for a staggering 4.2 million.
