This has motivated the researcher to get to know how this scheme being implemented in the villages of Sulikunte panchayat in Bangar Pet taluk, Kolar district of which a village Gollahalli, a native of my father was also part of the panchayat. Researcher visit this village quite often, take part in the all activities of relatives and familiar with the difficulties of poor families Limitations a) The researcher found it difficult to meet the jobcard holders because during the day time they are not available as they go for work and nobody remains in house, so I was met them in the evening. b) The panchayat officials took a lot of time to give the list of jobcard holders. c) The panchayat member of the village also came together when I interviewed the jobcard holders and the jobcard holders responses will be influenced by the officialss presence.
