The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) is an Indian law that aims to guarantee the ‘right to work’ and ensure livelihood security in rural areas by providing at least 100 days of guaranteed wage employment in a financial year to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work.
Mahatma Gandhi NREGA was launched in 200 select districts in 2006. However, Indira Awas Yojana was launched in the 9th Five Year Plan to provide housing for the rural poor in India.
