A group of leading economists has said the future of India’s biggest anti-poverty scheme, which has brought work to millions of impoverished villagers, is under threat and urged the government not to restrict or dilute the programme... The signatories, among them Dilip Abreau of Princeton University, Pranab Bardhan of Berkeley and development economist Jean Dreze, said the government also appeared to be considering restricting NREGA to 200 of the country’s poorest districts.
