Dear Members of the Right to campaign – Karnataka

NREGA was passed in 2006 and was implemented in 200 districts of the country from 2006 April. 5 districts of Karnataka were chosen in this batch and they were – Bidar, Gulbarga, Raichur, Davangera & Chitradurga.(1st phase)  A historical ACT with the intention of giving employment as a right to the people and thus reducing poverty in rural India and reducing migration to cities which have lot of affect on the family especially women and children. NREGA says that ‘ Every rural household can apply and get 100 days of employment in 1 year’, but not many people have benefited because of this historical law of this country’ in the state of Karnataka, mainly due to the indifference of the government and its machinery towards the needs of the people. In comparison states like Rajasthan & Andhra Pradesh for example have been doing exceedingly well.
