Abstract:
The study was an “Ex-Post-Facto” research carried out in Jabalpur district of Madhya Pradesh State during the year 2021-22 to assess the attributes of MGNREGA beneficiaries. The study covered 245 beneficiaries from two selected blocks. A pre-tested structured interview schedule was used to collect the data from MGNREGA beneficiaries by personal interview method. The data analysis was done by using statistical methods like frequency and percentage. The findings of the study reveal that most of beneficiaries were middle-aged, scheduled tribe, nuclear family, small size of land holding and had medium level of exposure to their respective attributes (social participation, socioeconomic status, extension participation, innovativeness, information seeking behaviour, attitude towards ITK and mass media exposure) of paddy growers.
