NREGA, also known as MGNREGA, provides a legal guarantee for 100 days of employment per year to rural households. It aims to enhance livelihood security for the rural poor by providing wage employment for unskilled manual work. Some key objectives are drought proofing, promoting gender equality and empowering rural women. Implementation involves registration of job card holders, provision of work within 15 days of application, payment of minimum wages, and social audits by gram sabhas. While it has helped generate rural employment and empower women, some ongoing issues include delays in wage payments, capture of benefits by elite groups, and lack of monitoring leading to corruption in some areas.
