Abstract: Abstract In this paper, we check how efficiently MGNREGA, one of largest social protection programmes of world, is working. The scheme involves a large amount of human resource and money (55,000 Cr. for financial year 2018–19). We apply the widely used technique of DEA on 29 Indian States and Union Territories to calculate the CCR, BCC and scale efficiencies. The paper also presents a ranking of the States based on SBM and Super-SBM Model. The results show that the scheme of MGNREGA stands up to the motives it was created for. Almost all States have performed exceptionally well and attained CCR (or BCC) efficiency. Except the State of Andhra Pradesh, all the States have shown optimal performance considering their size of operation. The State of Goa tops the ranking charts.
