Factors Facilitating Participation of Women in Mahatma Gandhi NREGS 105a seemingly-endless spectrum. Factors facilitating or hindering are also‘external’, ‘internal’, and / or a combination of both. ‘External obstacles’refer to those factors outside the end-beneficiary that encourage or inhibitor prevent true participation taking place. External obstacles suggest therole of development professionals, the broader government orientationtowards promoting participation, the tendency among development agenciesto apply their strategies and approaches to encourage participation. Internalobstacles refer to conflict within a household and a lack of interest ingetting involved.There is no ‘magic list’ of critical factors for participation of womenin MGNREGS. So an attempt was made to list out the factors that motivateand hinder women participation. Based upon the responses the factorswere identified and divided as vulnerability, motivating and hindering factors.Factors like characteristics of a person (such as lack of skill, literacy),a situation (such as drought), or a person’s environment (such as familymembers’ ill-health) that force a person to participate though not reallyinterested are considered as vulnerability factors. It was observed thatinsufficient agriculture work was one such factor because of which 51.8 percent respondents were compelled to work in MGNREGS. Such cases arehigh in Gaya district and drought-prone district of Mahaboobnagar andRS 97
106 Factors Facilitating Participation of Women in Mahatma Gandhi NREGSThrissur district. Distress migration is another vulnerable factor making therespondents take part in NREGS work in Gaya and Mahaboobnagar districts.Lack of skills to do other works also force the community towards MGNREGSand such cases are reportedly high in Gaya district (61.3 per cent) followedby Thrissur district (54 per cent) and Mahaboobnagar district (49 per cent).Other factors listed out are poverty, unemployment, debts, bonded labour,health problems of other members in the family etc. Details are presentedin Table 23. It is clear from this Table, that sample respondents ofMahaboobnagar and Gaya (drought-prone areas) are more vulnerable toseveral factors compared to Thrissur and South 24 Paraganas. Prominentamong them are insufficient work in agriculture, lack of continuous work,lack of skills and drought conditions. These confirm the relevance ofMGNREGS in the study area and also other flagship programmes.Table 5.28 : Vulnerability Factors Responsible for Participation in NREGSStateAndhra Bihar Kerala West TotalPradeshBengal1 No sufficient 50.0 78.8 48.0 36.0 51.8agriculture activity2 Low market wages 41.0 60.0 4.0 18.0 29.23 Migration 27.0 32.5 8.0 16.14 Illiteracy 52.0 71.3 15.0 22.0 38.45 Lack of skills 49.0 61.3 54.0 27.0 47.16 Flood 3.8 2.0 1.37 Drought 57.0 62.5 2.0 28.78 Lack of continuous work 50.0 75.0 37.0 36.0 48.29 Other factors (if any)* 10.0 8.6 7.0 11.0 4.3* Poverty, unemployment, debts, bonded labour, health problems toothers in the family etc.RS 97
