One year of implementation of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, which is of great importance to the poor is nearing completion. In view of this the subject is topical and relevant. It is vital to analyse critically the problems in the law itself. The author traces a comparative account of the Employment Assurance Scheme and NREGA. Many shortcomings of the NREGA are pointed out.
