Abstract

For the residents of pathror, the tardy implementation of the act has made little difference to their daily subsistence on rice gruel eaten with a pinch of salt, the local weed and dried mahua seeds because jobs don't come by very easily. despite a job card, and despite a guarantee from the union of india, most villagers go to bed hungry a year after they were supposed to have been gainfully employed and made an integral part of the 9 percent growth engine
