ABSTRACT: Employment implies work for which one has been engaged and is being regularly paid by an employer. The Government of India passed the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), in September, 2005. In 2004-05 India had a poor employment rate of about 42% and had extremely high poverty levels hence this act was initiated by the government to solve problems along these lines. The Act gave a legal guarantee of a hundred days of wage employment in a financial year to adult members of a rural household who demanded employment and were willing to do unskilled manual work. The Act was to be applicable to areas notified by the Central Government and its objective was to enhance the livelihood security of the people in the rural areas by generating wage employment through works that develop the infrastructure base of that area.
