What provisions have been made for women under the MNREGA?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

MNREGA or Mahatma Gandhi National Employment Guarantee Act is a social security scheme started by the Prime Minister P.V. Narsimha Rao in 2005.

This social security measure provides employment and livelihood to rural laborers especially women. Under this scheme roughly one-third of the designated work force must be women. MNREGA scheme lays the basis for greater independence and self esteem by economically empowering them. It provides and protects the right to work of rural women.

When the women are empowered a stable society is assured. It aims at providing 100 days of guaranteed wage employment in a year in every rural household especially women. This helps the women stronger and independently economically.
