This study examines the nature, durability, and awareness surrounding assets created under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) in the Jodhpur district of Rajasthan. The primary focus is on understanding the ownership of the land on which these assets were created, the durability of these assets, and the community’s awareness regarding the land and asset allocation. Data were collected from 376 respondents across various regions of Jodhpur, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative analysis methods. The findings indicate significant uncertainty in community awareness about asset creation and land ownership, with a notable proportion of respondents unsure of the specific ownership and location. The study also explores gender-based differences in perceptions about the environmental benefits of the assets, revealing that males and females have different views on the impact of MGNREGA assets on the local environment.
