National Rural Employment Guarantee Programme (MGNREGP) on women empowerment in Jodhpur district of
Rajasthan. Besides, the paper looked into the extent of participation of marginalized sections of the society in the programme and intra-household effect of MGNREGP income.The result of z-statistic revealed the significance difference in the extent of employment of male and female workers and women have more than three-fourth (76.50 %) share in workforce in MGNREGP in the district. The programme proved to be gender-friendly and has benefitted the participating women,both tangibly and intangibly, to a large extent by accentuating their choices and capabilities for investments on better food baskets, children's education as well as increased their bargaining power in household's decision process.
