The paper finds that some states are more effective in implementation then others. The states which effectively integrated MGNREGA works with local planning gained much in terms of employment generation and asset creation leading to increased agricultural potential. The scheme is more inclusive of vulnerable sections of the society including scheduled castes and tribes and also women. Study also highlight the village level differences in implementation and effective implementation leads to reduction of hunger and poverty.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the role of producer organisations in improving service delivery to producers/farmers. It observes that access to technology and other farm advisory services for producers within a producer organisation or partner arrangement is much more effective than for non-partners. Perceptible changes occurred in terms of increase in net incomes for partners compared to non-partners, even though increases in yield were not always observed. Benefits arose mainly because of increase in market access, marketable surplus and bargaining power for producer organisations. Such encouraging findings support arguments for greater policy support to leverage the functioning of producer organisations for their sustenance and replication.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines and compares the status of land rights and their impacts on agricultural productivity, food security and well-being in a set of tribal and non-tribal villages in Telangana. Based on an intensive field survey, the research confirms that tribals without formal land rights remain largely unable to benefit from government support and access to private institutions in terms of getting credit and farm extension, whereas in non-tribal villages, government organisations are pro-active in providing such support. These findings confirm the need to increase the effectiveness of land rights and title documentation in India’s tribal villages to protect local people’s investments in land, enhance agricultural productivity and strengthen the long-term effectiveness of government programmes, which include avoidance of migration to the big cities
