NREGA Survey 2008 was conducted in May-June 2008. It covered 10 districts spread over six North Indian States (Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh). The sample districts were Araria and Kaimur (Bihar), Surguja (Chhattisgarh), Koderma and Palamau (Jharkhand), Badwani and Sidhi (Madhya Pradesh), Dungarpur and Sirohi (Rajasthan) and Sitapur (Uttar Pradesh). In each district, 10 gram panchayats (five each in two different blocks) were selected for investigation. In each of the 100 sample gram panchayats, one active NREGA worksite was studied, and at each sample worksite, 10 workers were selected randomly for interview.
