Abstract

The MGNREGA is a signpost of India’s experiment in promoting inclusive growth and development through guaranteed employment. It aims at promoting livelihood security of the rural households by providing 100 days of secured wage employment in every financial year through federally funded public works programmes. Its rights-based framework, community-centric approach and participatory planning empowers local population. Though India has a rich tradition of providing employment-based relief to the poor people, the MGNREGA draws on the vast experiences of the past and improves upon further in terms of objectives, design and implementation processes. While explaining salient features of the MGNREGA, this chapter also describes evolution of the workfare programme in India.
