Arup Das, None

By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) was enacted on august 25, 2005. It was introduced with an aim of improving the purchasing power of the rural people primarily living below poverty line in India. The MGNREGA Act aims at enhancing the livelihood security of people in rural areas by guaranteeing hundred days of wage-employment in a financial year to a rural household who volunteer to do unskilled manual work. This act started functioning from February 2006. Initially it was introduced in 200 districts of the country. MGNREGA has introduced in the Dhemaji district of Assam in the very first phase of its launch. It started functioning from 2nd February 2006. . It has already completed nine years of its functioning in Dhemaji along with some other parts of India. This paper is an attempt to examine the impact of MGNREGA on employment generation in the Dhemaji district of Assam. MGNREGA has provided employment opportunities to the vulnerable section of the society. However, still there is a big gap between jobs offered and jobs demanded.
