| Summary: | India's National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), passed in 2005, has been among the developing world's most ambitious anti-poverty initiatives.

This volume is not a technical evaluation of program performance. It offers instead a detailed analysis of the politics surrounding NREGA. |
