For any act, there should be certain basic reasons. Likewise, in this study also, a question is raised<br />
what are the basic reasons <strong>of</strong> the act. Or what made the government to enact this amendment. <strong>The</strong><br />
rural development programmes implemented right from 1950 up to 2004 failed to reach the poor. That<br />
is why the government enacted the NREG Act. Out <strong>of</strong> 150 respondents, 116 (77.34%) do not know the<br />
reasons for enacting this law.<br />
Without knowing the reasons, it is not possible to obtain the full benefits.<br />

To get the employment under this act, one should get registered and get the job card. In the study<br />
villages, all the 150 respondents have registered. This is a good sign that atleast they got the awareness<br />
to register.<br />
