Abstract
Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) of 2005 which aims at enhancing livelihood security in rural areas of the country by providing at least 100 days of guaranteed wage employment. As per MGNREGA, creation of durable assets and strengthening of livelihood is an important objective of the scheme. In this regard, the Ministry has adapted GeoMGNREGA, to create a Geographical Information System (GIS) solution to visualize, analyze and explore the data of assets created under the MGNREGA. NRSC/ISRO supports MoRD for geotagging of assets. Spatial analysis helps in defining new forms of representation for better understanding the assets and identifies the spatial patterns of it. This option was explored by showing the procedural method of (a) Categorization and quality assessment of asset information (b) Consider the consisted assets of 23,498 (neglecting all inconsistent assets), calculate spatial density by means of Hotspot mapping using Kernel Density Estimation, Hotspot analysis and Grid based analysis using ArcGIS (c) finding the desktop position with respect to and Land Use and Land cover. Study proves that GIS gives us a better synoptic perspective to MGNREGA asset mapping, analysis and sets perspectives in data quality as well.
