Abstract
MGNREGA is the India's largest wage employment programme and is the first, to be fully supported by information technology. It is implemented with almost full financial support by the central government. The Central Government pays for the entire wage component, as well as 3/4 of the material component's expenditure. The state governments are responsible for the remaining 1/4 of the material and unemployment allowance costs. The article aims to examine government spending and employment in Jammu and Kashmir, with a special focus on the MGNREGA. The findings revealed that the growth rate of government expenditure has increased from 2006-07 to 2011-12, then declined or even turned negative from 2011-12 to 2012 with the increased growth of employment.
