The NREG Act strictly pointed out that during the agricultural season the work of MGNREGP should
not be taken. It should be clearly made known to the respondents by the implementing authority. But
in the study areas all the 150 respondents said that they are getting employment even during the
agricultural season. It is not only against the Act, such thing will hamper the agricultural activities.

It is heartening to note that all the respondents of the study villages replied that they know well that the
MGNREGP should not be implemented during agricultural season. But due to the pressure given by
the authorities they have to assemble on the spot where the MGNREGP is going on. More over people
now feel that instead of working hard in the agricultural field it is better to keep silent in the
MGNREGP site and get the wages without any physical work.
