Starting from 200 districts on 2 February 2006, the NREGA covered all the districts of India from 1 April 2008.The statute is hailed by the government as "the largest and most ambitious social security and public works programme in the world".In its World Development Report 2014, the World Bank termed it a "stellar example of rural development"

Project Description
Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MG NREGS) is implemented as a centrally sponsored scheme under the aegis of Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD), Govt of India, for operationalization of the mandate of National Rural Employment Guarantee Act – an act which guarantees minimum 100 days of unskilled wage employment to rural households across the country.
The act aims at enhancing the livelihood security of people in rural areas by guaranteeing hundred days of wage-employment in a financial year to a rural household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work.Another aim of MGNREGA is to create durable assets (such as roads, canals, ponds, wells). Employment is to be provided within 5 km of an applicant's residence, and minimum wages are to be paid. If work is not provided within 15 days of applying, applicants are entitled to an unemployment allowance. Thus, employment under MGNREGA is a legal entitlement.
MGNREGA is to be implemented mainly by gram panchayats (GPs). The involvement of contractors is banned. Labour-intensive tasks like creating infrastructure for water harvesting, drought relief and flood control are preferred.
This project entails developing a web based application for reporting/dash boarding/Analytics on the database developed for the implementation of the project. The web based software solution shall provide reports, dash boards, query builders and analytics on the database and also comply with the basic guidelines set in the NREGA Act.
These reports will be of Job Card Registrations, Job Card Applications, Projects Approved, Projects in Shelf of Life, Project Status, Bill Payments, Wage : Material Ratio, time delays, pendency, defaults, receipts, performance of officers / offices at various panchayats, taluks, zillas and at the state level.

"Today in India, about 2 million Anganwadi workers are reaching out to a population of 70 million women, children and sick people, helping them stay healthy. Anganwadi workers are the most important and oft-ignored essential link of Indian healthcare"

Overview
Anganwadi scheme is an integrated Child Development Program started by the Government of India in 1975 to combat child hunger and malnutrition. Being a part of the Indian Public Health Care system, its activities include providing supplementary nutrition, non-formal pre-school education, nutrition & health education, immunization, health check-up and referral services. The Anganwadi centers are also used as depots for distribution of medicines and oral rehydration salts.
There is ample evidence to demonstrate that social development in India has suffered a setback with the introduction of economic reforms as part of the process of liberalization and globalization. The social sectors have been the first target of retrenchment in public expenditure in the largely unsuccessful bid so far to achieve fiscal balance.
The basic work of Anganwadi workers is extremely important and needs to be carried out in the most efficient manner possible. They need to provide care for newborn babies as well as ensure that all children below the age of 6 are immunized or in other words have received vaccinations. They are also expected to provide antenatal care for pregnant women and ensuring that they are immunized against tetanus. In addition to this they must also provide post natal care to nursing mothers.
The system is mainly managed by the Anganwadi worker, who is chosen from the community and given 4 months training in health, nutrition and child-care. She is in charge of a Centre which covers a population of 1000. 20 to 25 such Anganwadi workers are supervised by a Supervisor called Mukhyasevika. 4 such Mukhyasevikas are headed by a Child Development Projects Officer (CDPO).
