Among the following who are eligible to benefit from the “Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act”?
✓ Correct answer: d) Adult members of any household
ExplanationThe Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guar- antee Act (MGNREGA) legally guarantees that adult members of all rural households can apply for work, ensuring inclusivi- ty without discrimination based on caste, creed, gender, or so- cio-economic status.Despite the broad eligibility, MGNREGA often prioritizes Below Poverty Line (BPL) households in practice, reflecting its primary goal of poverty alleviation and providing livelihood security to the most vulnerable rural communities.MGNREGA recognises the right to work as a fundamental en- titlement for all rural residents, aimed at improving livelihoods and empowering communities, even if implementation targets certain groups for effectiveness.3.
