Abstract

Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, (MGNREGA) has the potential to change the geography of poverty. This act is to enhance livelihood security in rural areas by providing at least 100 days of guaranteed wage employment in a financial year to every household. The present study was conducted in Pauri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand. This study takes up the issues related to the awareness about an ambitious welfare programme targeting the rural population of India, the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). The study is based on a primary survey and finds a general lack of awareness about the basic guidelines and the legal entitlements among the intended beneficiaries.
