For MNREGA workers, the cards have become their identity proof providing them access to bank accounts that earlier was unimaginable. The account can be used like any bank account with the account holder withdrawing or depositing money anytime he wants. Earlier workers had no means to save money even if they wanted. The project has ensured timely payment of wages. The E-Shakti project makes the physical presence at the bank unnecessary. The project has also ushered in transparency and accountability. Corruption at the lower level has been one of other major obstacles in the effective implementation of this unprecedented employment guarantee scheme. Under E-Shakti, diversion of funds becomes almost impossible. With biometrics-aided attendance, only a worker can withdraw money-nobody on his behalf can do so.

Public Facilities are facilities in the form of institutions that are accessed and utilised by public at large. Some facilities are provided either by Government or Private entity or both. Private companies provide schooling facilities and there are several educational institutions in India run by private companies. Long distance transportation facility for public, and Private Hospitals for medical facilities are also provided by private companies.

The Government has the responsibility of providing 'Public Facilities' to all its citizens. The important characteristic of a public facility is that once it is provided, its benefits can be shared by many people. For instance, a school in the village will enable many children to get educated. Similarly, the supply of electricity to an area can be useful for many people.
