Rural women are key agents for development. They play a catalytic role towards achievement of transformational economic, environmental and social changes required for sustainable development. In the interest of long term development it is essential to facilitate women empowerment. To achieve the empowerment of women the government of India introduced different programmes. One such programme focusing on unskilled based wageemployment is MGNREGA. Besides meeting out the goal of social protection and livelihood security, MGNREGA promises so much from perspective of women empowerment.In this paper, based on the secondary data an attempt has been made to comprehensively understand the impact of MNREGA in transforming lives of rural women viagainful employment generation.Keywords

Epidemiological studies have provided evidence of an inverse association between plants based diets and degenerative diseases. The content and concentration of antioxidants in nuts suggest the beneficial role they play in health promotion and disease prevention. These benefits though evident to scientists and the other handful of people, the knowledge among the customer population might not be sufficient in order to modify their dietary habits and patterns. Thus, there was a felt need of assessing the consumption practices of consumers regarding the utilization of nuts. The present study was therefore conducted in the Udaipur city of Rajasthan (India). The sample comprised of 100 respondents who were homemakers, actively involved in household cooking, who could provide crisp and authentic information. A questionnaire was prepared and the respondents were contacted personally. In conclusion, results revealed that though consumption of nuts was noteworthy among the population, the use was largely attributed to taste and flavor and the therapeutic or medicinal value (antioxidants) of nuts was not recognized by majority of respondents, which is of concern. Hence, it was understood that new strategies are required to make aware the consumers about the therapeutic benefits of nuts and thus popularize the use. Future public health initiatives should be mindful of these consumption patterns.Keywords
