For those unversed, explaining a scheme to a group of people can often become monotonous, causing them to lose interest after certain period of time. To make the process of interaction more exciting and keep people engage for a longer time into the process, AROEHAN NGO has come up with an innovative idea, a combination of board and card game to explain the MGNREGA scheme to villagers with details.
