The MGNREGA, a self targeting programme, is intended in increasing outreach to poor and marginalized section of the society such as women and helping them towards the cause of financial and economic inclusion in the society. In this comparative study, an attempt has been made to analyze the performance of the MGNREGA in term of awareness of women beneficiaries about various provisions in MGNREGA and constraints faced by them while working under it. The study was conducted in Bikaner and Ludhiana districts of Rajasthan and Punjab, respectively. The sample consisted of 120 randomly selected respondents comprised of 60 women beneficiaries from each districts. Personal interview technique was used for collecting data. Findings of study show that respondents in both the districts are not much aware about the provisions under MGNREGA. Similarly, the respondents faced many problems while working under this Act regarding delay in issuing of job card, delay in payment, lack of crèche facility, harassment at work site etc. The study has made some suggestions also for incorporating improvement in the present MGNREGA scheme based on the constraints reported by the women beneficiaries associated with this act.Keywords

The entrepreneur is considered as a person who initiates, organizes the activities, manages and controls the affairs of business unit combining the factors of production to supply goods and services. The study has been conducted to examine the entrepreneurial content of people in Ludhiana district of Punjab State. A random sample of 120 farmers was taken from the selected villages. Those farmers who had allied enterprises along with farming were considered as enterprising farmers (EF) and those having no such enterprise along with crop farming as non-enterprising farmers (NEF). A majority of the medium farmers considered allied enterprises as good source of additional income while the small farmers took it from the angle of fulfillment of family needs without making big investments. More than 64 per cent respondents perceived that an additional enterprise with farming was very gainful. In the terms of risk taking again all the young and about half of the middle aged respondents preferred risk. Most of the old aged respondents' averted risk associated with new technology. It is suggested that non-enterprising farmers may have multiple farming practices to enhance their social as well as economic status in the society.Keywords
