Village and Gender-wise Beneficiaries Count of Anugul District of Odisha under the PM-KISAN scheme for 15th Instalment - 2023-24

The data details job card holder participation in the MGNREGA scheme for the first trimester of the financial year 2023-24 (August to November). Each record represents a job card holder in a specific revenue village, categorized by gender and the installment (job card number) under which they worked. The 'TOTAL' column indicates the number of days of work completed by that individual during the specified period. The dataset covers a wide range of villages across sub-districts including Anugul, Athmallik, Banarpal, Bantala, Bikrampur, Chhendipada, Colliery, Handapa, Industrial, Jarapada, Kaniha, Khamar, Kiakata, Kishorenagar, Nalco, Palalahada, Purunakot, Rengali Damsite, Samal Barrage, Talcher Sadar, and Thakurgarh.

Data Quality

The dataset is largely complete with very few null values. Some columns like `StateCode`, `DistrictCode`, `SubDistrictCode`, `RevenueVillagecode` are consistently populated with coded identifiers, providing a good structure for linking with other administrative datasets. The `Gender` column is consistently populated with 'M', 'F', and occasional 'T' (likely for Transgender), indicating a move towards inclusive data collection. A very small number of records with 'T' might be considered for separate analysis.

Use Cases

Analyzing MGNREGS work participation rates by gender and geography. Identifying villages or sub-districts with high and low scheme uptake. Understanding work distribution across different job card installments. Tracking the total person-days of employment generated in the first trimester.

Limitations

The dataset does not include information on wages earned, work type, or asset created. It is limited to one trimester of a single financial year, preventing long-term trend analysis. The `Installment` column's meaning (likely job card number) is not explicitly defined in the dataset itself, requiring external domain knowledge for interpretation.

Methodology

Data was likely collected through the official MGNREGA Management Information System (MIS). Gram Panchayats and Block offices record the attendance and workdays of job card holders, which is then aggregated and made available at the district level.
