The scheme was implemented in a gigantic scale at village level and it iscommendable that though there is some delay, the work was provided up to thesatisfaction of all the job seekers as far as the time lag is concerned. It iscommendable to record that 28% of the job-seekers were provided wages within oneweek of demanding for wage employment. Among the 1712 HHs who constitutenearly one-fourth of the total sample, who were delayed employment beyond twoweeks, majority are from the northern and eastern region.Table – 4.4 tries to capture the HH data pertaining to average number of daysof work provided to each and every household. There is a maximum limit of 100 daysof employment to each household under this scheme. Only 4.5 percent of job cardholders did utilize more than 35 days of wages per family. 14 percent of job cardbeneficiaries get up to 8 days of employment as on the time of this survey. Most ofthe beneficiaries did not utilize up to 100 days since the scheme is in its initial stagesand all of them are yet to get work allocation in near future according to the version ofofficials. There is non-uniformity of distribution of number of wage-days in eachdistrict since the scheme was in its different stages of initiation. In some of thedistricts surveyed, the scheme was hardly launched. Therefore, most of the eligiblefamilies are yet to utilize their share of 100 days of wage employment.As per the guidelines of NREGA, the work site should not be more than 4 kmaway from the GP office/residence of the beneficiaries. However, it was revealed inTable – 4.5 that 5 percent of the beneficiaries did work in those sites which arebeyond 4 kms. Notable among them are from northern and eastern regions. Morethan half of the HHs did work in the worksites which are within the radius of onekilometer from their residence.Though it is mandatory to provide transport allowance to job card holders inthe event of work site falling beyond the distance of 4 km, it was found in the surveyas stated in the Table – 4.6 that no such allowance was paid in spite of working insites falling beyond the stipulated distance. However, in case of Davanagere district ofKarnataka, a very minute number of beneficiaries i.e., 13 HHs expressed thattransport allowance was paid.
There has to be several modes of dissemination of information detailing thework allocation so as to inform all the HHs falling in the jurisdiction of GP such as (a)notice board, (b) drum beating, (c) pubic announcement etc. Through the Table – 4.7an attempt was made to know the most common mode of communicating theinformation regarding works. It was found that 55 percent of the HHs did come toknow about the works and about the scheme itself through public announcementseither in GP or in GS. 29 percent of the people came to know about the scheme andother details through notice boards displayed at GP office. Many among them heardthrough others who read or seen the contents of the notice board. 16 percent of thebeneficiaries have come to know the details through drum beating which is the ageold,traditional way of disseminating the information from the GP office.NREG Scheme stipulates at least one-third of the wage allocation i.e., persondaysto women beneficiaries. Table – 4.8 captures the HH data of womenparticipation in the NREG works. An attempt was made to analyse the participationof women in each and every household compared to the total person-days utilized bythe respective households. It was found that in 21.5 percent of HHs, women folk ofthe family did not take part to the extent of 33% of person-days. Only in 42 percenthouseholds, the women could share the 1/3 rd of the allocated person-days (wage days). However, in 22 percent of the households, the women folk did utilize more thanone-third of the utilized person-days in the household.The Act under NREGA stipulates to provide basic facilities such as crèche,first aid, drinking water and shade for workers at the work site. An attempt was madeas shown in Table – 4.9 to enquire the extent of such facilities provided to the wagersat the work site. Only 80 percent of the HHs did find drinking water facility at thework site. Only one-fourths of the HHs did agree that there is a crèche facility.However, only 83 percent of the HHs who participated in the wage employment didagree that there is a drinking water facility. Though, a shade for resting in betweenwork hours and during lunch recess is mandatory, only 65 percent of the HHs didagree that there is a facility of shade near the work site.An attempt was also made to enquire with the beneficiaries whether there areany general nature of grievances or complaints regarding works allocation,
