K. Puram, New Delhi-110066 FOREWORD Salinity is a significant challenge and poses risks to sustainable development of Coastal regions of India. If left unmanaged, salinity has serious implications for water quality, biodiversity, agricultural productivity, supply of water for critical human needs and industry and the longevity of infrastructure. The Coastal Salinity has become a persistent problem due to ingress of the sea water inland. This is the most significant environmental and economical challenge and needs immediate attention. The coastal areas are more susceptible as these are pockets of development in the country. Most of the trade happens in the coastal areas which lead to extensive migration in the coastal areas. This led to the depletion of the coastal fresh water resources. Digging more and more deeper wells has led to the ingress of sea water into the fresh water aquifers turning them saline. The rainfall patterns, water resources, geology/hydro-geology vary from region to region along the coastal belt.

    CHAPTER I Introduction The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) – An Overview In India, our rural masses lack the basic infrastructure facilities to sustain their life. Rural India constitutes about 72 % of the total population. Their small holdings provide them with minimal yield to support their existence. The opportunities to have better standard of living in rural areas of our country are minimal. In this regard, the Govt. of India has introduced NATIONAL RURAL EMPLOYMENT GUARANTEE Act in September, 2005in the Parliament, and launched National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme in February, 2006in the selected 200districts of the country. It was further extended to 113 districts on April1st, 2007 and it is now operational in all districts from April 1st,2008. The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), presently known as The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) is a Central sponsored wage employment scheme which aims at providing livelihood security to the rural poor. The Act is an important step towards realization of the right to work. It is also expected to enhance people’s livelihood on a sustained basis by developing the economic and social infrastructure in rural areas. The objective of the Act is to enhance livelihood security in rural areas by providing at least 100 days of guaranteed wage employment in a financial year to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work. The MGNREGS emphasis on community participation in planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation (Social Audit) of the programme.
