The study focuses more on issues and constraints which respondents face due to improper implementation of MGNREGS. The positive impacts include that the employment and expenditure of beneficiaries has increased among coming into MGNREGS. Moreover, the migration has reduced in some states due to the implementation of MGNREGS.
