Socio-Economic Impact of Mgnarega on Beneficiaries

The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) guarantees at least 100 days of wage employment in a given Financial Year to every rural household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work. Looking from the above context MNREGA becomes an interesting subject to study because it is not only giving employment to the rural poor but also creating sustainable and durable assets in the village. The Act gives power to the daily wage labours to fight for their right to receive the wages that they must receive and not just a means of providing social security to its people but also an opportunity to promote overall community development and alter the balance of power in rural society.Considering the facts, a study entitled ¿Socio-economic impact of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act Programme on beneficiaries in Banaskantha District of Gujarat State¿.
