MGNREGA Sameeksha II is proposed as a continuation of the objective of nurturing a discourse around MGNREGA which is open, scientific, critical and constructive. It reviews
research studies carried out and published over the last two years (2012–14) to foster reflection and understanding about MGNREGA and its impact. It is hoped that this will bring the various studies together for focused discussions, leading to an authentic conversation between policymakers, researchers, practitioners, activists and the administration.
