ABSTRACT: Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) is a revolutionary move to terminate poverty and unemployment in rural areas. The implementation of the scheme is successful in terms of large-scale employment, women empowerment, asset creation, watershed development, prevention of draught and reduction in large scale migration. The present investigation is a modest attempt to compare the work performance in Kerala with the remaining states in India. Though its scope is nationwide, there have been wide inter-state as well as inter district variations in the accomplishment of the objectives of the MGNREGA Act. Therefore, this paper focuses on the different facets of work implementation aspects in Kerala and find out other states performances in this regard using secondary data. The study confirms that the scheme has changed the rural face of the country despite the differences found in different states.
