MNREGA Objective:-
Implemented by the Ministry of Rural Development, MAHATMA GANDHI National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) is the flagship programme of the Government that directly touches lives of the poor and promotes inclusive growth. The Act aims at enhancing livelihood security of households in rural areas of the country by providing at least one hundred days of guaranteed wage employment in a financial year to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work. In brief, this Act provides for 100 days of employment for all households in rural areas in manual work, if demanded. The Act seeks to create durable assets and strengthen the livelihood resource base of the rural poor. The choice of works suggested in the Act address causes of chronic poverty like drought, deforestation, soil erosion, so that the process of employment generation is on a sustainable basis works suggested in the Act addresses causes of chronic poverty like drought, deforestation and soil erosion, so that the process of employment generation is maintained on a sustainable basis.
This act was introduced with an aim of improving the purchasing power of the rural people, primarily semi or un-skilled work to people living in rural India. Around one-third of the stipulated work force is women. The law was initially called the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) but was renamed on 2 October 2009.
Thus this programme results in Increased rural employment Increase in rural purchasing power and Overall rural development and stability
The Act came into force on February 2, 2006 and was implemented in a phased manner. In Phase I it was introduced in 200 of the most backward districts of the country. It was implemented in an additional 130 districts in Phase II 2007-2008. The Act was notified in the remaining 285 rural districts of India from April 1, 2008 in Phase III.
This act was brought about by the UPA coalition government supported by the left parties. The promise of this project is considered by many to be one of the major reasons for the re-election of the UPA in the Indian general election, 2009.Dr. Jean Drèze, a Belgian born economist, at the Delhi School of Economics, has been a major influence on this project. A variety of peoples movements and organisations actively campaigned for this act.
Background:
Human development is the process of enlarging people's choices _ not just choices among different detergents, television channels or car models but the choices that are created by expanding human capabilities and functioning’s _ what people do and can do in their lives. In investigating the priorities of poor people, one discovers that what matters most to them often differs from what outsiders assume. More income is only one of the things poor people desire. Adequate nutrition, safe water at hand, better medical services, more and better schooling for their children, cheap transport, adequate shelter, continuing employment and secure livelihoods and productive, remunerating, satisfying jobs. These are often more highly valued than income, both in their own right and as a means to satisfying and productive work. According to Prof. Amartya Sen "no policy-maker can guarantee the achievement of all, or even the majority, of these aspirations, but policies can create the opportunities for their fulfilment''. Without such improvements, freedom from illness and illiteracy - two of the most important ways that poor people can escape poverty - will remain elusive to many. The World Development Report describes when and where services are working for poor people, showing how governments and citizens can do better. The key: poor people’s participation in determining the quality and quantity of the services they receive. This way of looking at development, often forgotten in the immediate concern with accumulating commodities and financial wealth, is not new. Philosophers, economists and political leaders have long emphasized human well-being as the purpose, the end, of development.
In this context it is important to understand the concept of Unemployment, the different types of Unemployment and the various employment (Workfare) Programmes in India.
