[amp_mcq option1=”To encourage the rural people to work” option2=”To provide 100 days of employment in rural areas” option3=”To facilitate 300 days employment in rural areas” option4=”To encourage rural women to promote cottage industries” correct=”option2″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is: B. To provide 100 days of employment in rural areas.<\/p>\n
The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGA) is a social security program in India that aims to guarantee employment to rural households who volunteer to do unskilled manual work. The program was launched in 2005 and is one of the largest public works programs in the world.<\/p>\n
The objective of MGNREGA is to provide at least 100 days of guaranteed employment in a financial year to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work. The program is implemented by the Ministry of Rural Development and is funded by the central and state governments.<\/p>\n
MGNREGA has been successful in providing employment to millions of rural households. The program has also helped to improve the infrastructure in rural areas, such as roads, bridges, and irrigation canals. However, the program has also been criticized for its high cost and for the poor quality of the work that is done.<\/p>\n
