Asset Creation and Management Through MGNREGA : A Case Study of Ganjam District

Abstract	One of the central features of MGNREGA is its focus on asset creation, benefiting both individuals and communities. The program allows for participatory decision-making, empowering communities to choose works that directly address their needs. The Act's on-going amendments expand the range of permissible activities and grant states flexibility to undertake location-specific projects. However, a key challenge lies in ensuring the completed works transition effectively into sustainable and productive assets. While technical aspects present hurdles, it's ultimately the beneficiaries' use and perception that determine whether a project becomes a true asset. This study investigates the technical quality and agricultural-economic impact of MGNREGA's "Water Conservation and Rejuvenation of Water Bodies" category (category A) in Ganjam district, Odisha, a region prone to both drought and migration.**
