Abstract
Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act
(MGNREGA) was passed by the government of India on August
5, 2005. The basic objective of the Act is to enhance livelihood
security in rural areas by providing at least 100 days of guaranteed
wage employment in a financial year to every household whose
adult members’ volunteer to do unskilled manual work. MGNREGA
is a powerful instrument for ensuring inclusive growth in rural India
through its impact on social protection, livelihood security, and
democratic empowerment. It attempts to bridge the gap between
the rich and poor in the country. The MGNREGA stipulates that
works must be targeted towards a set of specific activities which
provides an opportunity to build rural infrastructure through water
conservation and harvesting, renovation of water bodies, land
development, soil erosion, soil control, rural connectivity, and so
on. In this proposed study, aim is to analyze the awareness of
beneficiaries about the provisions of transparency in sanction and
implementation of works under MGNREG Scheme in Virudhunagar
District by using Sign test. Sign test is the non-parametric test with
a simple procedure of plus and minus sign
