India is the biggest democracy of the world with more than 122 billion population, 70% of its population lives in villages. Almost 48% of the rural population is of women. Since centuries women in rural India are treated as secondary, marginalized and subordinate to men. They are dependent on their male counderparts for most of their social, economic and political needs. They are denied form social, economic and political rights. It is the biggest challenge for a democratic socialistc soceity in post-modern era. Therefore, for the development & empowerment of women, our governments have enacted a number of acts, scheme, policies and programmes. MGNREGS is one the the most important schemes for the development and empowerment of rural women. According to this employment scheme 33% participation will be of women and it is expected that this participation of women will be upto 40%. But the findings are not satisfactory. In some districts of Uttar Pradesh it is 5- 20%. In Akola block of Agra district, the participation of women in MGNREGS is 26.29% but the active partipation of women falls upto 15%. Though, this scheme could not create expected results regarding women empowerment, yet the women who are actively participating in this scheme are benefitted and being empowered. They are using their earnings for the betterment of their family conditions, spending it on the education, other needs of the children and to fulfil their personal needs. Through the power which is achieved by their personal earnings under the said scheme, they are partipating in decision making process of family but outside family they are denied in decision making process such as in MGNREGS decision making they are discrimiated by the Panchayat functionaries.
