Concluding Observations A complete equality between the demand for and supply of employment in all the regions of UP over both the years. However, when we make a comparison between the job cards issued and the actual employment provided to the job seekers, there appears a considerable mismatch. This needs investigation. Distribution of employment by social groups reveal a greater share going to the SC followed by the Others. As the population of ST in most districts of UP is marginal, it s also reflected in their NREGS share as well. As was expected, a greater amount of the NREGS expenditure went to unskilled workers and their wages. Next to this was expenditure on goods and material. Evidences drawn at region-level reveal that about a fifth of total financial allocations remained unspent over both the years. NREGS Wages appeared to have improved overtime. Conservation of water remained the priority for 3 regions. Western UP has however differed and laid greater emphasis on road connectivity.
