Regression results show a positive impact of labour days generation on asset creation under the scheme. The generation of more labour days leads to more asset creation. The regression results are also supported by the trends of employment generation and asset creation. This highlights that money spent on the scheme is not a waste of resources, and the scheme can very well achieve the twin objectives of employment generation and development of rural infrastructure. On the contrary, replacing MGNREGA with the new scheme VB-G-RAM-G may lead to less asset creation in rural areas in the absence of a guaranteed supply of funds.</p> Dr. Jyoti Atri, Reena Singh Copyright (c) 2026 Dr. Jyoti Atri, Reena Singh https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://www.dzarc.com/social/article/view/1073 Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.dzarc.com/social/article/view/1134 <p>Women’s literacy and employment in India one of the major socio-economic challenges caste-based disparity that affecting. However significant progress has been made in improving educational access and increasing women’s participation in the workforce, inequalities continue to persist across caste groups. Women who belong to socially disadvantaged communities face multiple forms of rejection due to the combined effects of caste and gender. These inequalities influence access to education, skill development, employment opportunities, income generation, and overall socio-economic advancement. This study examines the extent and pattern of caste-based disparities in women’s literacy and employment with the objective of understanding how caste influences educational attainment and workforce participation among women. Secondary data sources such as census reports, government publications, labour force surveys, and published research studies are used to analyse trends and regional differences. Thus, women from historically marginalized caste groups generally experience lower literacy rates, reduced educational attainment and limited access to formal employment compared with women from socially advantaged groups. Findings revealed there are many factors that influence women literacy and employment such as early marriages, children’s burdens, safety concerns and mobility especially in work place and transport.</p> Mamta, Dr. Neha Yadav Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ https://www.dzarc.com/social/article/view/1134 Mon, 06 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000
