[amp_mcq option1=”2005″ option2=”2000″ option3=”1996″ option4=”1992″ correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is (a) 2005.<\/p>\n
The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) is a social security program in India that guarantees employment to rural households who volunteer to do unskilled manual work. It was launched in 2005 by the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government.<\/p>\n
The act provides for 100 days of guaranteed employment in a financial year to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work. The wages are paid at the minimum wage rate fixed by the government.<\/p>\n
The act has been successful in providing employment to millions of rural people and has helped to reduce poverty and improve the quality of life in rural areas.<\/p>\n
Option (b), 2000, is incorrect because the NREGA was launched in 2005.<\/p>\n
Option (c), 1996, is incorrect because the NREGA was launched in 2005.<\/p>\n
Option (d), 1992, is incorrect because the NREGA was launched in 2005.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
