Impact of MGNREGA on Socio-Economic Development& Women Empowerment

Abstract

The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act 2005 (NREGA) is a social security scheme that attempts to provide employment and livelihood to rural labourers in the country. In an effort to make inclusive and overall development a reality, the NREGA was passed as a labour law and implemented across 200 districts in 2006. The present study is intended to identify the impact of MGNREGA on socio- economic development and women empowerment. The major aim of this study is to identify role and relevance of MGNREGA in rural growth and development. The main limitation of this study was the time limitation and reluctance from the part of members.
