Abstract

Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act is a historic legislation enacted since independence, guarantying rural employment and right to work as an enforceable legal entitlement in a rural milieu marked by stark inequalities, created opportunities for gainful social inclusion. The occurrence of rural-urban migration certainly has an adverse impact upon economic development. In this pretext, the paper reviews the impact of MGNREGS upon the problem of migration and also on gender disparities.
