MGNREGA

The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) is an Indian government program that guarantees at least 100 days of employment each year to rural households willing to do unskilled manual work. It aims to provide financial security, create rural infrastructure, and reduce poverty. Under this scheme, workers receive wages for completing projects like building roads, ponds, or planting trees. It promotes rural development, ensures income for vulnerable families, and encourages sustainable resource management, contributing to social and economic stability in rural India.
