India is an agricultural country where, 72% of the population lives in rural areas. Though India has completed more than 77 years of Independence poverty in rural India continues to increase day by day and people are increasingly migrating to the urban areas to earn their living. In other words, even after completing 77 years of Independence we have more than 40 per cent people living below poverty line. Every Five Year Plan and many other poverty alleviation programmes for the rural poor have come up with different income generation and Employment Guarantee Schemes but their result seems to be unsatisfactory. Between 1970 and 2005, India implemented 17 major programmes with focus on employment or self-employment. By 2000, employment programmes like the National Rural Employment Programme, Rural Landless Employment Guarantee Programme, Jawahar Rozgar Yojana and the Employment Assurance Scheme. Self-employment generation programmes, like the Integrated Rural Development Programme and the Training for Rural Youth in Self-employment attracted more unemployed participants. This study examines rural employment dynamics, and evaluates program implementation effectiveness. This study examines 2005 Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act. It is being implemented in Vizianagaram District of Andhra Pradesh State, which was only created.
