MGNREGA scheme

Описание: What if every rural household in India had the right to demand a job from the government — and get paid within 15 days?

That’s the vision behind MGNREGA — Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, launched in 2005.
It’s not just a scheme — it’s a legal guarantee of 100 days of wage employment per year to every rural household that demands it.

From digging ponds to building roads, creating water conservation structures to afforestation — the work under MGNREGA is designed to build sustainable rural assets while providing dignified income.

What makes it powerful?
• It’s demand-driven — people ask for work, and the government must provide.
• Wages are paid directly into bank accounts through DBT.
• There’s a strong focus on transparency, audits, and social accountability.

In times of crisis — like the COVID-19 lockdown — MGNREGA became a lifeline for millions of migrant and rural workers.

But challenges remain: delays in payments, fake job cards, corruption, and limited capacity at the local level.

Still, it remains one of the most transformative rural employment programs in the world — recognized globally for empowering the poor and reducing rural distress.

For UPSC aspirants, MGNREGA is vital under governance, social justice, rural development, inclusive growth, and welfare economics.
