Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme is one such scheme which was launched in the year 2005 with main objective of providing at-least 100 days employment to the rural population. This paper is an attempt to understand the effectiveness of the scheme in asset creation which is one of the important objectives of the scheme.
