Effects of NREGA:-• MGNREGA has provided around
Rs 1,10,700 crore (66 per cent of the total expenditure of around Rs 1,66,000 crore) as worker wages from FY 2006 up to FY 2011–12*.
• Studies note a positive impact of this transfer on household income, monthly per capita expenditure, food security and health of the beneficiaries.
• Overall, while there are several indications of the significant impact of the Scheme, it has even greater potential in terms of poverty alleviation at scale, that can be realise
Impact on Food Security, Savings and Health Outcomes:-
• Studies on poverty suggest that deprivation across a wide range of nutrients (calories, micro-nutrients, etc.), can lead to a poverty trap where low nutrition leads to low productivity which in turn leads to low wages and then to low nutrition, thus completing a vicious cycle.
• Depending on how net transfers from MGNREGA are spent, their nutritional implications may be significant.21 MGNREGA has contributed to ensuring a higher intake of food and food availability.
